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
