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
My cup runneth over till you're never satisfied
She was the one, but I thought there was another
I came out lookin' like a prodigal lover

Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)

You can't buy love
But you spend all your money just makin' time
If 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
My cup runneth over till you're never satisfied
She was the one but I thought there was another
I came out lookin' like a prodigal lover

Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry

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 know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
Now I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)

Now I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)

Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
Now, I know that you never miss your water till you're dry
(Never miss your water, your water till you're dry)
