Lyrics
Late last night I got disturbing news
From the woman next door to my hotel room
The sign on her doorway said "Do not disturb"
Her voice came through the wall I heard every word
You can drag me to water but I will not drink
Throw the baby out with water from the kitchen sink
I'm never gonna love you, it's so perfectly clear
And I heard a man laughing as he opened a beer
He said "C'mon darling get on over here, I'll show you how a real man feels"
So I finished up my business hurried through the day
Rushed home to greet you in the usual way
The driveway was empty and the house was dark
I heard that woman's voice with a sinking heart
You can drag me to water but I will not drink
Throw the baby out with water from the kitchen sink
I'm never gonna love you, it's so perfectly clear
And I heard myself laughing as I opened a beer
His tires in the driveway relieved my fears
He hit the door and showed me how a real man feels
If you're wondering what life's got in store
Take the advice of the woman next door
Hang a sign on your doorknob says "Do not disburb"
Let your voice come through the wall hang on every word
You can drag me to water but I will not drink
Throw the baby out with water from the kitchen sink
I'm never gonna love you, it's so perfectly clear
And I heard a man laughing as he opened a beer
He said "C'mon darling get on over here, I'll show you how a real man feels"
"I'll show you how a real man feels"
"I'll show you how a real man feels"
