I wanna swim in the morning sun
I wanna swim out in the pouring rain
And the moment that I wade away from you
I'm justa hopin' that I don't fall in

And I start to feel a little breeze
I start to get real numb, I can't feel my knees
And it's me you need to show...

How deep is the pond? (How deep is the pond, how deep is the pond?)
I really need to know
'Cause I don't know the depth of this pool,
Don't wanna drown
Is it really three feet deep?
Will you measure it for me?

I believe in you
That you will help me if the water's cold
I wish I took more time in swimming lessons
Ya better catch me if I fall

And I hope you know
That I'm trustin' you
You're my lifeguard
If I'm to be rescued
And it's me you need to show...

How deep is the pond? (How deep is the pond, how deep is the pond?)
I really need to know
'Cause I don't know the depth of this pool,
Don't wanna drown
Is it really three feet deep?
Will you measure it for me?

How deep is the pond? (How deep is the pond, how deep is the pond?)
I really need to know
'Cause I don't know the depth of this pool,
Don't wanna drown
Is it really three feet deep?
Will you measure it for me?
