“You Don’t Miss Your Water” was originally recorded by William Bell at Stax Records in Memphis, Tenn. Otis Redding covered it on Otis Blue in 1965.
It’s a classic tale of not valuing the woman you’re with until she’s gone.
In the beginning, you really loved me
I was too blind, I could not see, now
But now that you've left me
Oh, how I cried out, I keep crying
You don't miss your water 'till your well run dry
I kept you crying, sad and blue, oh my
I was a playboy, I just wouldn't be true
But now that you left me
Good Lord, how I cried, I keep crying, I keep crying
I've been missing my water
No, I never missed my water 'till my well run dry
I sit here and wonder
How in the world this could be, my, oh my
I never thought, oh, I never thought you'd ever leave me
But now that you've left me
Good Lord, good Lord, how I cried out
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water 'till your well run dry
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water 'till your well run dry
I miss my water
I keep missing my water
I keep missing my water
And I want my water
I need my water
I love my water
And I want my water
And I am little thirsty now
And I'am little thirsty now
I want my water
I need wanting my water
You Don’t Miss Your Water was written by William Bell.
