Nina Simone
Why Must Your Love Well Be So Dry
[Chorus]
Why (why)
Must your (must your)
Love well be so dry (why must your love well be so dry)
Say why must your love well be so dry

[Verse 1]
I just lay here
Crying for you
What a fool I am for asking for what do
Feeling my whole world turn to dust
Hungry for somebody's tender touch
Sweet sweet baby you can quench my heart
Just like water can quench my thirst (just like water can cleanse my thirst)

[Pre-Chorus]
Why (why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why)
Why must your love well be so dry

[Chorus]
Tell me
Why (why)
Must your (must your)
Love well be so dry (why must your love well be so dry)
Why must your love well be so dry
[Verse 2]
Man you boast
And swear by my love
But i ain't got nothing to be sure of no more
Wondering if you ever loved me
If it's still there
It's just like hanging on to empty air

[Pre-Chorus]
Say why (why, why, why, why, why, why, why)
Why must your love well be so dry

[Chorus]
Tell me
Why (why)
Must your (must your)
Love well be so dry (why must your love well be so dry)
Why must your love well be so dry

[Bridge]
I felt her warm lips
In my dream, it was a dream
Felt my heart, did such sweet things
It was a dream
It hurt so much to wake up and find
Dreaming baby, how it was all in my mind
[Chorus]
Tell me
Why (why)
Must your
Love well be so dry
Why must your love well be so dry

[Coda]
I say why (why)
Must your
Oh love well be so dry (why must your love well be so dry)

One more time
Why (why)
Must your
Must your love well be so dry (why must your love well be so dry)
