Dirty Water Songtext
von Buddy & Julie Miller

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

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 up dirty water 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

Well that is sparkle and shiny but it was just a trick
So you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick
Well that dirty water is about to make me sick

Dirty water now what's that for
Dirty water i ain′t drinkin no more

You can try to sweeten turpentine up with grenadine
But i can still read you 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

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
