You're an animal in the pool, he said
Once I came back from a dip, I turned red
We'd been chatting about coasts East and West
He was a business man, had he a wife? That's a yes.

But it was obvious that he was full aware she was far away
All the way around the world, in Sardenia, *** you say
He dropped little lines about when he was leaving
It was in a couple of days, and I was thinking
This is so obvious, this is so gross
I already feel sad, and I'm trying still to make the most
of my time and I think how could it get worse?
I bet it's not to hard to tell as I write this verse.

Back in the pool I couldn't do my drills right
Even if I stayed there all night
I imagined myself telling a friend
I thought I felt bad and then
I took the bait, the drug, the distraction
And then only the worst did happen

The pool was closing and it was only too clear
This guy really wanted me to stay near
But the voice in my gut said get away
And so, stronger now, on this track I did stay

Nothing can change the stress in my life
But a drug, an affair won't make it all right.
