Sweet Water

I sell my smile six nights a week
After a while, that starts to keep
You guessin' just who you are
Those nightlife lovers can drain you dry
All their covers and alibis
Get to pressin' me just a little too far

But then along comes a lady just in time
She warms me up, cools me down
Helps me rest my mind

She's like sweet water runnin'
Baby, won't you come and
Give a dyin' man a drink?
Mother nature's daughter
Such sweet, sweet water
She is every thought that I think

And I think about her day and night
Without her, nothing's right
I need her to get me through
That cabaret karma can hit you hard
It'll knock you down and leave you scarred
And wonderin' just what to do

But then along comes a lady just in time
She warms me up, cools me down
Helps me rest my mind

She's like sweet water runnin'
Baby, won't you come and
Give a dyin' man a drink?
Mother nature's daughter
Such sweet, sweet water
She is every thought that I think

But then along comes a lady just in time
She warms me up, cools me down
Helps me rest my mind

She's like sweet water runnin'
Baby, won't you come and
Give a dyin' man a drink?
Mother nature's daughter
Such sweet, sweet water
She is every thought that I think

(Sweet water)
She's like sweet water runnin'
Baby, won't you come and
Give a dyin' man a drink?
(Mother nature's daughter)
Mother nature's daughter
Such sweet, sweet water
(Sweet water)

She is every thought that I think
She is every thought that I think
She is every thought that I think
She's like sweet, sweet water
Yeah
