Dirty Water

Well i don't need you hangin round my door Trying to drag me back down to the shore And i ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more Well i got wet from my head down to my legs And i drank dirty water down to the dregs But i won't do it again i don't care who begs Dirty water now what's that for Dirty water i ain't drinkin no more You've got a lie underneath your tongue where it can't be seen And you wanna put the truth on a guillotine But you might as well put out a fire with gasoline Well you can serve up dirty water from a golden cup You can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut Cause the truth just comes out like blood from a cut Well that is sparkle and shiny but it was just a trick So you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick Well that dirty water is about to make me sick Dirty water now what's that for Dirty water i ain't drinkin no more You can try to sweeten turpentine up with grenadine But i can still read you like a magazine And i ain't gonna drink no more till the water runs clean Dirty water now what's that for Dirty water i ain't drinkin no more Baby you got the kind of love that i can't afford And i don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured And i ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more
