Jilly was a young girl
Treated her like she was a friend of mine
She wanted me for a lover
But damn did I see it, man I was so blind
Because the grass looks greener, on the other side
Your cup runneth over 'til you're never satisfied
She was the one but I thought there was another
I came out lookin' like a prodigal lover
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water 'til you're dry)
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry-y-y
(Never miss your water, your water 'til you're dry)
You can't buy love but you spend all your money just makin' time
Yeah, the best things are free
Can you please tell me why I ain't got a dime
Because the grass looks greener, on the other side
Your cup runneth over 'til your never satisfied
But she was the one but I thought there was another
I came out lookin' like a prodigal lover
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water 'til you're dry)
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry-y-y
(Never miss your water, your water 'til you're dry)
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry-y-y-y...
Jilly is a woman now, my oh my
How things have changed
She's turnin' heads and breakin' hearts
Everyone in town wants to know her name
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water 'til you're dry)
Now I-I know that you never miss your water 'til you're dry-y-y
(Never miss your water, your water 'til you're dry)
Now I-I know that you never miss your water
