You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make him drink
You can send a kid to college
But you can't make him think
You'll never miss your water, baby
Till the well runs dry
And you'll never miss me, baby
Till I say bye bye
Mm hm, you'd better heed my warning
The straw that broke the camel's back
Didn't have to be so big
When you went off and left me, baby
I almost blew my wig
But he who has the last laugh
Always laughs the best
And I'm gonna laugh louder
Than all the rest
So you better heed my warning
If you want me to get out, baby
You know you don't have to push
But you'll find a bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
There's no need to lock the barn
When the cow is gone
You're gonna miss me, baby
On some frosty dawn
You'd better heed my warning
It's a long, long road
That doesn't have a turn
You have to be an early bird
If you wanna catch the worm
A word to the wise is sufficient, so they say
But you gotta have sunshine, if you wanna make hay
You better heed my warning
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so its plain to see
If the gra** look greener yonder
That's where I'm gonna be
So you'd better heed my warning
