Buddy, Julie Miller - Dirty Water lyrics

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

Dirty water now what's that for
Dirty water I ain't drinkin' 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

Dirty water now what's that for
Dirty water I ain't drinkin' no more

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

Dirty water now what's that for
Dirty water I ain't drinkin' no more

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
