You Left the Water Running Songtext
von Otis Redding

Two
One, two, three, play

You left on the water running
Uh, when you left me behind
Baby, now you
You left on the water running
It′s running from these eyes of mine
Baby, now that you turned out the light of love
You left with another guy

Honey, let me
You turned off all your love for me
But you forgot to turn off the cry
Ooh, forgot to turn off the cry

Baby, now that
You pull the shades way down low
And disconnect the telephone
But, baby these tears are running from my eyes
I can't turn ′em off and on


Now baby, now that
You left on the water running
When you left me behind
Let me tell you
That you left on that water running
It's running from these eyes of mine

And now you go
You locked the door and left me outside
And then you throw the key away

Baby, now that
You'll regret, baby, you′ll be upset, now
When you get your water bill to pay
Ooh, when you get that water bill to pay

Honey, now that
You left on the water running
Now, when you left me behind

Let me tell you
That you left, ooh, the water running
It′s running from these eyes of mine
Baby, now that
You left, ooh, the water running
Running from these eyes of mine


Baby, now that
You left on the water running, now
When you left me behind
Lord God now, when you left me behind

Let me tell you
You left, ooh, the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Uh-huh, you
You left on the water running
When you left me behind
