[Verse 1]
Don’t you know my lungs are filled with words?
And every single letter is about your name, oh
And every time I give you a call
It all pours down like a waterfall

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s my fault for thinking that I
Can be the one to make you change
‘Cause you do what you want to
And never listen to me anyway
And every time that you roll your eyes
I feel like I’m

[Chorus]
Talking underwater
Why can’t you hear I love ya?
Don’t think I can take no more
Words are wasted on you, baby
Talking underwater
Why can’t you hear I love ya?
You don’t care what I'm about
Talking underwater

[Verse 2]
I was hoping my love could be the cure
Oh, but looking at your face, I’m not too sure
Could it be that you mean more than me?
Then I would ever be the all, oh

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
Words are wasted on you baby, oh
Words are wasted on you baby, oh
Words are wasted on you baby
Words are wasted on you baby, oh

[Bridge]
Every time I’m talking to you
It seems you’re not even listening to me
I don’t understand what that is
Just selfish, damn
I feel like I’m

[Chorus x2]

[Outro]
Words are wasted on you, baby, oh
Talking underwater
Words are wasted on you, baby, oh
Talking underwater
Words are wasted on you, baby
Why can’t you hear I love ya?
Words are wasted on you, baby
Talking underwater

Every time I’m talking to you
It seems you’re not even listening to

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
