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
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 dirty water up, 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

Dirty water, now what's that for
Dirty water, I ain't drinkin' no more
I ain't drinkin no more

You can try to sweeten dirty water up a grenadine
But I can still read you just 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
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

Dirty water, now what's that for
Dirty water, I ain't drinkin' no more
I ain't drinkin no more
Ain't drinkin' no more
