Dirty Water

Lyrics

I don't need you hanging 'round my door
 Trying to drag me back down to the shore
 And I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
 But I got wet from my head down to my legs
 And I drink dirty water down to the dregs
 Lord, I won't do it again, I don't care who begs
 Dirty water, now what's that for?
 Dirty water, I ain't drinking no more
 I ain't drinking no more
 You gotta lie underneath your tongue, where it can't be seen
 'Cause if you wanna put the truth on the, the guillotine
 But you might as well put fire out with gasoline
 If you sum up dirty water from a golden cup
 You can try to lock up the truth but that door just won't shut
 'Cause the truth keeps coming out like blood from a cut
 Now it sparkles and it shines but it's just a trick
 So we worship down with a little kiss
 But that dirty water 'bout to make me sick
 Dirty water, now what's that for?
 Dirty water, I ain't drinking no more
 I ain't drinking no more, no
 Well you've been trying to sweeten dirty water with the grenadine
 Oh but I can still read you just like a magazine
 And I ain't gonna drink no more, till that water runs clean
 Dripping, you got the kind of love I can't afford
 I don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured
 Now I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
 No, I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no, no more
 No more
 (I ain't drinking no more)
