Going Down for the Third Time Lyrics


Save me, save meI'm goin' down, down for the third time
I'm goin' down, down for the third time
Drownin' in tears from my heart that's hurtin'
Drownin' in tears from a love that's uncertainI'm lost in a world without your love
A sea of emptiness
The love we knew is bein' washed away
Don't think I can last, my heart is sinkin' fastI'm goin' down, down for the third time
Tryin' to hold on to a love that's gone
Drownin' in the love that keeps me breathin'
Drownin' in the fear that my arms you're leavin'Bring back that love we knew
Darlin' let me live again
A little tenderness to me start showin'
Fill my heart with love till it's overflowin'I'm goin' down, down for the third time
Tryin' to hold on to a love that's gone
I'm goin' down, down for the third time
So once you save this heart of mineGoin' down, down for the third time
Goin' down, down for the third time
I'm like a ship all alone on a ragin' sea

You got me tossin' and a-turnin' and I can't get freeReach out your hand for me
Darlin' save what's left of our love
I'll forgive your lies and alibis
If you'll wipe my cryin' eyesI'm goin' down, down for the third time
So won't you save this heart of mine
I've loved too long, I love too strong
Now little boy you know you're doin' me rightCome on and save me
Come on and save me
Come on and save me
I'm goin' down, down for the third time

The Supremes were a very successful motown all-female singing group active from 1959 until 1977, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, soul, broadway showtunes, psychedelia, and disco. One of Motown's signature acts, The Supremes were the most successful African-American musical act of the 1960s, recording twelve #1 hits between 1964 and 1969, many of them written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The crossover success of the Supremes during the mid-1960s paved the way for future black soul and R&B acts to gain mainstream audiences both in the United States and overseas.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States in 1959, The Supremes began as a quartet called The Primettes. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglas public housing project in Detroit, were the sister act to The Primes (later The Temptations). In 1960, Barbara Martin replaced McGlown, and the group signed with Motown in 1961 as The Supremes. Martin left at the end of 1961, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio. After they achieved success in the mid-1960s with Ross as the lead singer, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left the group for a solo career in 1970, and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977.
