Well I don't need you hangin' round my door Tryin' 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 [Chorus] Dirty water, now what's that for Dirty water, I ain't drinkin' no more I ain't drinkin' no more You got a lie underneath your tongue where it Can't be seen And you want to put the truth on guillotine But you might as well put out a fire with gasoline Well you can serve dirty water from a golden cup You can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut 'Cause the truth just keeps comin' out like blood from a cut [Chorus] You can try to sweeten dirty water up with grenadine But I can still read you just like a magazine And I ain't gonna drink no more till the water runs clean [Chorus] 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 Now I ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more
