Dirty Water
well i don't need you hangin round my door
trying to drag me back down to the shore
and i ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
well i got wet from my head down to my legs
and i drank dirty water down to the dregs
but i won't do it again i don't care who begs
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
you've got a lie underneath your tongue where it can't be seen
and you wanna put the truth on a guillotine
but you might as well put out a fire with gasoline
well you can serve up dirty water from a golden cup
you can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut
cause the truth just comes out like blood from a cut
well that is sparkle and shiny but it was just a trick
so you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick
well that dirty water is about to make me sick
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
you can try to sweeten turpentine up with grenadine
but i can still read you like a magazine
and i ain't gonna drink no more till the water runs clean
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
baby you got the kind of love that i can't afford
and i don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured
and i ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more
trying to drag me back down to the shore
and i ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
well i got wet from my head down to my legs
and i drank dirty water down to the dregs
but i won't do it again i don't care who begs
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
you've got a lie underneath your tongue where it can't be seen
and you wanna put the truth on a guillotine
but you might as well put out a fire with gasoline
well you can serve up dirty water from a golden cup
you can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut
cause the truth just comes out like blood from a cut
well that is sparkle and shiny but it was just a trick
so you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick
well that dirty water is about to make me sick
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
you can try to sweeten turpentine up with grenadine
but i can still read you like a magazine
and i ain't gonna drink no more till the water runs clean
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
baby you got the kind of love that i can't afford
and i don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured
and i ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more
