[Chorus 1]
Now I'm a dying man won’t you give me water?
My baby took my love away and left me on a desert
I feel a taste of salt and I got to have air to breathe
That girl she stole my heart and left me in misery

[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody, will give me water, why don'tcha?
Give me water, yeah

[Chorus 2]
And I'm just a simple man
And I’m not used to losing her
Somebody help me off this desert won'tcha give me water?
Now I've heard many tales, about a lonely grounded man
And I'm out here all alone, you know
I'm living on life's hard medicine

[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody, will give me water, why don'tcha?
Just give me water, now won'tcha?
Tell ’em Al

[Verse 3]
Just the thought of her
You know it drives me all up inside
And I’m all numb with pain
'Cause I only have tears to taste
My mind is all messed up, won’tcha give me water, water
And I don't know how to make it
I just can't make it no further
[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody, will give me water, why don'tcha?
Just give me water, now won’tcha?

[Outro]
Water, water
I need some water
Hey!
Water, need some water
C'mon Al
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
