High and dry in the long hot dayLost and lonely, every wayGot the flats all around me, sky up aboveYes, I need a little water of love!I've been too long lonely and my heart feels painCryin' out for some soothin' rainI believe I've taken enoughYes, I need a little water of loveWater of love, deep in the groundBut there ain't no water here to be foundSomeday, baby, when the river runs freeIt'll carry that water of love to meOnce I had a man I could call my ownOnce I had a man, now my man, he is goneOnce there was a river, now there's a stoneYou know it's evil when you're livin' aloneWater of love, deep in the groundBut there ain't no water here to be foundSomeday, baby, when the river runs freeIt'll carry that water of love to meWater of love, deep in the groundBut there ain't no water here to be foundSomeday, baby, when the river runs freeIt'll carry that water of love to meWater of love, deep in the groundBut there ain't no water here to be foundSomeday, baby, when the river runs freeIt'll carry that water of love to meWater of love, deep in the groundBut there ain't no water here to be foundSomeday, baby, when the river runs freeIt'll carry that water of love to me
