Dirty Water

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
