You Never Needed Water |
| You said you were a virgin when I took you in the park |
| You didn’t need a light to help you make it in the dark |
| You took the highest bidder who could satisfy your |
| needs |
| You wrapped yourself around him and you squeezed him |
| till he bleeds |
| You never needed wings until I taught you how to fly |
| You never needed water till your well ran dry. |
| You always set your target on the highest social scene |
| You never gave your number till you knew where he had |
| been |
| You used to shop at Harrods, bought the smartest |
| clothes |
| You wore them inside out so that the maker’s label |
| showed |
| You never needed money till I taught you what to buy |
| You never needed water till your well ran dry. |
| You’re just about as subtle as a razor with your teeth |
| You got your greatest pleasure with your lover |
| underneath |
| You sparkled like a diamond with a smile that you could |
| trust |
| You would find yourself a sucker and you’d grind him |
| into dust |
| You never started smoking till I taught you to get high |
| You never needed water till your well ran dry. |
| Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink |
| Take a look into the mirror baby, it’s later than you |
| think |
| You’re the ultimate expression of Picasso’s favourite |
| brush |
| The wall in his apartment he painted in a rush |
| You never shed a tear until I taught you how to cry |
| You never needed water till your well ran dry. |
