Janiva Magness - Dirty Water lyrics

I don't need you hanging 'round my door Trying to drag me back down to the shore And I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more But I got wet from my head down to my legs And I drink dirty water down to the dregs Lord, I won't do it again, I don't care who begs Dirty water, now what's that for? Dirty water, I ain't drinking no more I ain't drinking no more You gotta lie underneath your tongue, where it can't be seen 'Cause if you wanna put the truth on the, the guillotine But you might as well put fire out with gasoline If you sum up dirty water from a golden cup You can try to lock up the truth but that door just won't shut 'Cause the truth keeps coming out like blood from a cut Now it sparkles and it shines but it's just a trick So we worship down with a little kiss But that dirty water 'bout to make me sick Dirty water, now what's that for? Dirty water, I ain't drinking no more I ain't drinking no more, no Well you've been trying to sweeten dirty water with the grenadine Oh but I can still read you just like a magazine And I ain't gonna drink no more, till that water runs clean Dripping, you got the kind of love I can't afford I don't have a taste for what's in that gla** you poured Now I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more No, I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no, no more No more (I ain't drinking no more)
