Drowing in the sea of love is a very old expression that has been used countless times and in countless ways. I wouldn't say it is "ripping off" another song though, as those expressions are far too common to have any copyright over.
Same goes for been down one time, been down two times. Songs just re-hash expressions people use.
Here's a Walter Egan song that is similiar to you know what:
When my time is only
Passing me from day to day
And I'm feeling lonely
About the best thing I can say...
You will understand me
Never mind what they try to hand me
Won't you say you will
Won't you say you will
Take me to your heart, dear
Won't you say you will
Once I lost a good thing,
I just let it slip away
Now I'm lost and looking,
Trying to find that thing today
Will you ever hear me...
Say I need you near me
Won't you say you will?
Won't you say you will?
Take me to your heart, dear
Won't you say you will?
Find a way, to help me see me
Find the higher plane
Don't you know, only you can free me
Find a way to help me see me,
Find the better plane
Don't you know, only you can free me
From this crazy chain
Yeah...
Won't you say you will
(Will...)
Won't you say you will
Take me to your heart...dear
Won't you say you will
Won't you say you will...
