Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I'm a dying man, won't you give me water?
My baby took my love away and left me on a desert
And I feel the taste of salt
And I gotta have air to breathe
That girl, she stole my heart and
And left me in misery
[Verse 2]
Somebody, somebody will give me water
Why don't you give me water? Yeah
[Verse 3]
And I'm just a simple man
And I'm not used to losing love
Somebody help me off this desert, won't you give me water?
Now I've heard of many tales
About a lonely, grounded man
And I'm out here all alone, you know I'm
I'm living on life's hot burning sand
[Verse 4]
Somebody, somebody will give me water
Why don't you just give me water?
And I want you to, tell 'em, Albert
[Verse 5]
Just the thought of her
You know it drives me all up inside
And I'm all numb with pain
'Cause I only have tears to taste
My mind is all messed up, won't you give me water, water?
And I don't know how I can make it
I just can't make it no further
[Verse 6]
Somebody, somebody will give me water
Why don't you just give me water?
And now won't you?
[Verse 7]
Water, water
I need some water
Hey, water
Need some water
Give me water, Albert
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
