I know that you never miss your water till you're dry (Never miss your water... your water till you're dry) Now I... I know that you never miss your water till you're dry; why, why (Never miss your water... your water till you're dry) You can't buy love, but you spend all your money just makin' time Yeah, the best things are free Can you please tell me why I ain't got a dime? Because the grass looks greener on the other side Your cup runneth over till you're never satisfied She was the one, but I thought there was another I came out lookin' like a prodigal lover Now I...

I know that you never miss your water till you're dry (Never miss your water... your water till you're dry) Now I... I know that you never miss your water till you're dry; why, why (Never miss your water... your water till you're dry) Now I... I know that you never miss your water
