In the beginning you really loved me But I was blind and I could not see But when you left me oh, how I cried You don't miss your water till your well runs dry I kept you cryin' darlin' so sad and blue You knew all the time I was a playboy And I just could not be true But when you left me, and it was the way you said goodbye Now I miss my water uh.. you know my well ran dry I sit and wonder, woman how can this be You know I never thought you would ever Baby you would ever leave But now you've left me, oh woman how I've cried You don't miss your water till your well runs dry You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
