In the beginning honey you really loved me I was too blind and I couldn't see But now you've left me oh Lord how I cried You don't miss your water till the 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 God I miss my water Jerry's well just ran dry Mhm I sit and wonder how can this be I never thought I never thought woman you'd ever leave me But now you've left me oh how I cry You don't miss your water till your well runs dry Yes you don't miss your water till your well runs dry
