In the beginning, honey you really loved me   I was too blind and I couldn't see   But now you left me, oh Lord, how I cried   You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry      I kept you crying sad and blue, honey   I was a playboy, I wouldn't be true   But when you left me and said goodbye   Lord, I don't miss my water 'til Jerry's well runs dry      Myself wonder how can this be   I've never thought, I've never thought, woman you'll ever leave me   But when you left me, oh, how I cried   You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry   Yes, you don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
