Intro:

Verse 1:

                             
In the be-ginning, you really loved me,
                  
I was too blind; I could not see.
                         
But now that you left me, oh,
                          
 How I cried, I keep crying.

                         
You don't miss your water,
           
'Till your well runs dry.

Verse 2:

                          
I kept you crying, sad and blue, oh my, oh.
                  
I was a playboy; I could not be true.
                        
But now that you left me,
                                
How I cried; I keep crying, I keep crying.

                         
Ooh, you don't miss your water,
                          
No, I never miss my water,
                   
'Till my well runs dry.

Verse 3:

           
I sit here and wonder;
                            
How in the world this could be?
           
My, oh my, I never thought,
                    
Oh, I never thought you'd ever leave me.
                        
But now that you left me,
                          
 Good Lord, good Lord, how I cried out;

                    
You don't miss your water,
                    
You don't miss your water,
                     
'Till your well runs dry.
                               
Ooh, you don't miss your water,
                     
'Till your well runs dry.

Coda:

                 
I miss my water,
                         
I keep missing my water,
                         
I keep missing my water.
                      
And I want my water,
                  
I need my water,
                  
I love my water,
                      
And I want my water.
                             
And I'm little thirsty now,
                             
And I'm little thirsty now.
