Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They tell me, "Gladys, you know you love too hard"
But I tell 'em, "Not nearly hard enough"
They say, "Girlfriend, you know you've gone too far"
Around the world ain't far enough
[Verse 2]
'Cause I only wanna show you what you mean to me
Every time I'm reachin' out to you, I start to sing
I may be drowning with desire from your sweet, sweet touch
I don't care what people say 'cause I love you so much
[Chorus]
Love overboard (Love overboard)
My love's in need of help
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I sure can't help myself
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I don't know what to do
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I'm so in love with you, babe
[Verse 3]
Baby, they say I work too hard
Not really, when it comes to lovin' you
You've got my overtime, you bring me peace of mind
And there's so much more I'd like to do
[Verse 4]
I only wanna find the love my heart's been searchin' for
I'd climb most every mountain, swim from shore to shore
Just to feel the soft caressin' from your warm embrace
In this ocean of love, no one can take your place
[Chorus]
Love overboard (Love overboard)
Oh, my love's in need of help
Love overboard (Love overboard)
Sure can't help myself
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I don't know what to do
Love overboard (Love overboard)
So in love with you
[Chorus]
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I'm runnin' outta time
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I don't know what to do
Love overboard (Love overboard)
So in love with you
[Bridge]
All my friends keep tellin' me to let you go, babe (Let you go)
Between the two of us, how could they ever know
About the love you've been givin'?
Seems some people like to live their life so very close
I like to let go sometimes
So I can flow with the time, I done made up my mind
You're the only one for me, oh, my love's overboard
[Verse 5]
Gladys, Gladys, Gladys
I'm overboard, can't help myself
I'm overboard
Ooh, the bottom may be deep, but your love's so very sweet, fell overboard
[Verse 6]
Love overboard
Love overboard, so in love with you
[Chorus]
Love overboard (Love overboard)
Runnin' outta time
Love overboard
About to lose my mind
Love overboard (Love)
I don't know what to do
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I'm so in love with you
[Verse 7]
Spinnin', fallin'
Deeper, oh, deeper
Love's callin' (Love overboard)
I'm fallin'
S-O-S-O-S-O-S-O-S
[Outro]
Love's overboard (Love overboard)
My love's in need of help
Love overboard (Love overboard)
Just can't help myself
Love overboard (Love overboard)
I don't know what to do
Love overboard (Love overboard)
