In the beginning you really loved me
But I was blind and I could not see
But when you left me oh, how I cried
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

I kept you cryin' darlin' so sad and blue
You knew all the time I was a playboy
And I just could not be true
But when you left me, and it was the way you said goodbye
Now I miss my water uh.. you know my well ran dry

I sit and wonder, woman how can this be
You know I never thought you would ever
Baby you would ever leave
But now you've left me, oh woman how I've cried
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
