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
[Chorus:]
Dirty water now what's that for
Dirty water I ain't drinking 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
[Chorus]
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
[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
And I ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more
