Fools and their money will soon depart (soon depart)
Bad workman quarrels with his tools every day
Now whatever you have inna your possession
Don't abuse it, or one day you'll surely lose it

(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) No
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) No-no no-no-no-oh
(Don't be the man who miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) When the well is dry
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall)

Warriors know peace whenever they're losing a war
Prisoners know freedom when they are behind the bars
If I did know, I would not let it go
But all word they say still slow

(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) Runs dry
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) No, no-no-no-no
(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) When the well is dry
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) Yeah

Come back, come back, come back
I'm gonna chase you down your track
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back - where did it go?
But too late will be your cry

(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) The water when the well is dry
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) No oh-oh
(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) No oh-ohh
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) Nah-nah no-no-no-oh

Regrets, sorries and apologies
All a those will be your destroyer
If I did know, I would not let it go
But don't forget opportunity comes but once
So-oh-oh-oh

(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) When the well, runs dry
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) No woah-oh-oh
(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) When the well, when the well runs dry
(Don't be the man to realise)
(When your back is against the wall) Yeah-yeh-eh-eh

(Don't be the man to miss the water)
(When the well runs dry) Woh-woah
(Don't be the man to realise..)
