In the beginning, honey you really loved me
I was too blind and I couldn't see
But now you left me, oh Lord, how I cried
You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry

I kept you crying sad and blue, honey
I was a playboy, I wouldn't be true

But when you left me and said goodbye
Lord, I don't miss my water 'til Jerry's well runs dry

Myself wonder how can this be
I've never thought, I've never thought, woman you'll ever leave me
But when you left me, oh, how I cried
You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Yes, you don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
