You can lead a horse to water   But you can't make him drink   You can send a kid to college   But you can't make him think      You'll never miss your water baby   Till the well runs dry   And you'll never miss me baby   Till I say goodbye      You'd better heed my warning      The straw that broke the camel's back   Didn't have to be so big   And when you ran off and left me baby   I almost blew my wig      They say he who has the last laugh   Always laughs the best   And I'm gonna laugh louder baby   Than all the rest      You'd better heed   You'd better heed my warning      If you want me to get out baby   You know you don't have to push   But you'll find a bird in hand   Is worth two in the bush      There's no need to lock the barn door   When the cow is gone   But you're gonna miss me, baby   On some frosty dawn      You'd better heed   You'd better heed my warning      It's a long, long road   That don't have a turn   You have to be an early bird   If you wanna catch a worm      They say absence makes   The heart grow fonder, so it's plain to see   If the grass look greener yonder   Baby, that's where I'm gonna be      You know you'd better heed   You'd better heed my warning
