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
