Bobby Womack - Quicksand lyrics

Can't you see, you're in quicksand
It's gonna take more than a
Hand to pull you out
It's like drowning on dry land
You keep sinking deeper, deeper!
And the more you're tryna fight
You keep getting weaker

There's only one way to do right
Is to leave it all alone
Anything worth having, it won't come easy
And if it do, boy pass it on

You're in quicksand
It's gonna take more than a
Hand to pull you out
You keep sinking deeper, deeper!
And the more you try to fight
You keep getting weaker

There's only one way to do right
Is to leave, leave it all alone
Anything worth having, it won't come easy
And if it do, you'd better pass it on

(Awh) Quicksand! (O oh) You're in Quicksand!
That's something - quicksand!
(Ooo Oooh) Quicksand! (Hey) oh, boy
You've got yourself in a world of trouble
Trouble
