About You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til the Well Runs Dry)

"You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til the Well Runs Dry)" is the sixth and final single from Craig David's second album Slicker Than Your Average. The song became one of his lowest charting singles to date, likely because it was the sixth single from the album and at the time of single release Slicker Than Your Average was already certified double platinum in the UK alone. "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til the Well Runs Dry)" charted at number 43 in the UK. This was the first Craig David song and one of the first CD singles to incorporate the two-track CD format in the UK.

As I sail with you across the finest oceans
On our way to find the key to our emotions
Together we will move the clouds to brighter days
Some people question what i say, try to break up you & me 
But I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever from wherever just remember that
I'll be there through all the stormy weather
Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever

You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry
But I believe so strongly in you & I
Can't somebody answer me the question why
You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry

As I close my eyes sit back while reminiscing
Of when we used to fuss & fight but end up kissing
There may be sad & painful times along the way
But in my heart you'll always be, everything and more to me

For I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever from wherever just remember that
I'll be there through all the stormy weather
Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever

[Chorus]

For you are always on my mind, you are always on my mind
Girl you know that you
You are always on my mind you're always on my mind
You are always forever

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

If you ever get the feeling 
You want to play around start cheating
Remember you don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry
