Strawbs - You Never Needed Water lyrics

rate me

You said you were a virgin when I took you in the park<br />

You didn't need a light to help you make it in the dark<br />

You took the highest bidder who could satisfy your needs<br />

You wrapped yourself around him and you squeezed him till he bleeds<br />

You never needed wings until I taught you how to fly<br />

You never needed water till your well ran dry.<br />

<br />

You always set your target on the highest social scene<br />

You never gave your number till you knew where he had been<br />

You used to shop at Harrods, bought the smartest clothes<br />

You wore them inside out so that the maker's label showed<br />

You never needed money till I taught you what to buy<br />

You never needed water till your well ran dry.<br />

<br />

You're just about as subtle as a razor with your teeth<br />

You got your greatest pleasure with your lover underneath<br />

You sparkled like a diamond with a smile that you could trust<br />

You would find yourself a sucker and you'd grind him into dust<br />

You never started smoking till I taught you to get high<br />

You never needed water till your well ran dry.<br />

<br />

Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink<br />

Take a look into the mirror baby, it's later than you think<br />

You're the ultimate expression of Picasso's favourite brush<br />

The wall in his apartment he painted in a rush<br />

You never shed a tear until I taught you how to cry<br />

You never needed water till your well ran dry.
