[Intro: AJ]
Oh-oh yeah

[Verse 1: Brian]
Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
And girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
'Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say

[Pre-Chorus: Howie]
I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough

[Chorus: All & Brian]
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep drowning in your love

[Verse 2: AJ with Nick & All]
Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe not
'Cause I have known the safety
Of floating freely in your arms
And I don't need another lifeline
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me
Oh-oh, can't you see

[Pre-Chorus: Nick with Howie, Brian]
I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough
(Don't seem like long enough, yeah)

[Chorus: All & AJ]
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above (rise above)
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

[Bridge: Kevin with AJ]
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air that I breathe

[Chorus: All, Brian & AJ]
Every time I breathe I take you in
('Cause every time I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it (baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love (by love)
Baby I can't help it (can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love (love, yeah-yeah)

[Interlude: All, Nick & AJ]
Baby I can't help it
(Keep me drowning in your love)
Got me drowning (oh-oh-oh)
Got me drowning
(Keep me drowning in your love)
Baby I can't help it
(Can't help it, can't help it, no-no)
Got me drowning

[Chorus: All, AJ & Brian]
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in (I do)
And my heart beats again (oh-yeah!)
Baby I can't help it (baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it

[Outro: AJ]
You keep me drowning in your love

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
