Little Esther Phillips & Al Downing - You Never Miss Your Water (Till The Well Runs Dry) lyrics

rate me

Uh oh, no water

Mmm, you never miss the water

Til the well runs dry

I never missed you, daddy

Til you said bye bye

Try me one more time (yeah, baby)

One more time (yeah)

I can't eat, I can't sleep

You know I'm just about

To lose my mind

Let me tell you something, baby

Took my love for granted

You did me wrong

Now you're crying, baby

Cause you want me home

Try you one more time

Whoa, one more time, pretty baby

You can't eat, you can't sleep

You're just about to lose your mind

Til the well runs dry (all right)

Til the well runs dry

(Oh, tell me about it, baby)

You know you never miss your water

Til the well runs dry, uh oh, no water

When I saw you, baby

And you looked so fine

(I know it, baby)

All I could say was

That you used to be mine

(You can't eat, you can't sleep)

I said I'm just about

To lose my mind, yeah

I said, you never miss the water

Til the well runs dry (yeah)

I never missed you, Al

Til you said goodbye

Come on and try me on more time

(Yeah) please, one more time

You know I can't eat, I can't sleep

I'm just about to lose my mind

Til the well runs dry

(Oh, til the well runs dry)

Til the well runs dry

(Whoa, tell me bout it, Esther)

You know you never miss your water

Til the well runs dry (uh oh, no water)

When I saw you, baby

And you know you looked fine

(Yeah) all I could say was

That you used to be mine

(You can't eat, you can't sleep)

Just about to lose my mind

Can't eat, can't sleep

Just about to lose my mind

Come on home (I'm home, baby)
