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.
