'I'm sendin out an SOS'


Lyrics
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep us together
Love can mend your life 
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle yeah
Message in a bottle yeah

Aaaaaagggghh

I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
I'm sendin out an SOS
