Let The Water Run Down
Composer(s): Russell
Performer(s): Ben E. King; P.J. Proby



I remember you, turning on the faucets
I let the water run
I didn't want to let them hear me when I'm cryin'
Or let them see what she had done

Oh-ooh...
(Let the water run down) Let the water run, let it pour
(??? ??? like a river)
(Let the tears fall down) Let it pour
(Dum-dee-dum-dum, dee-dum-dum)

So I locked the door and looked in the mirror
I don't like what I see
A fool, what a fool lookin' out of the mirror
Cryin' all those tears at me

Oh-ooh...
(Let the water run down) Let the water run, let it pour
(??? ??? like a river)
(Let the tears fall down) Oh-ooh, let it pour
(Dum-dee-dum-dum, dee-dum-dum)

I hear them waiting by the door
At their pounding on the floor
They're yellin', "Are you comin' out"
Ooh, I wish they wouldn't doubt
All I need is one minute more
Then I'll open up the door
And this is what I'll say
"I'm alright.....uum-uum, it's alright"
"I'm alright, I'm alright"

I'm not about to hear ya...
(Let the water run down) Oh, let it pour
(????? ???? like a river)
Let the tears fall down the hole
(???? ???? ???? ???? ????)

So I reach for the towel, I wipe my eyes
I go out and join the crowd
You know I danced with a girl
She was a wrong, wrong girl
And my heart is cryin' out loud

Oh-ooh...
(Let the water run down) Let it roll, let it pour
(????? ???? like a river)
Let the tears fall down the hole
C'mon now...
(Let the water run down) Let it roll, let it pour
(??? ??? like a river)
Let the tears run down the hole
I wanna hear ya
(Let the water run down)
