You Left The Water Running

(album: The Wicked Pickett - 1967)

Now, you left the water running
When you left me behind
Honey now, now you left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine, hey now
Running from these eyes of mine, now

Listen, huh
You turned out the light of love
You left with another guy
Honey now, you turned off all your love for me
But forgot to turn off the cry
Baby, you forgot to turn off the cry, huh

You pulled all the shades way down low
And disconnect the telephone
But these tears running from my eyes
You turn them off and on
No, you can't turn them off and on

Now honey, you left the water running
When you left me behind
Honey now, now you left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine, hey now
Running from these eyes of mine, now, uh, ah, oh

You locked the door and left the key to my heart
You went and threw my life away, huh, huh
But you'll regret, and you'll be upset
When you get your water bill to pay, oh
You get your water bill to pay, ah

Now honey, you left the water running
When you left me behind
Honey now, now you left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine, hey now
Running from these eyes of mine, now

Now honey, you left the water running
When you left me behind
Honey now, now you left the water running
