  • Oh I have to tip-toe around so as not to make a loud sound, oh-oh
    Oh what you put her through look at her tryin' not to wake-up the girl, oh-oh
    What was she thinkin' tryin' to keep up with you every habit you have, oh-oh
    It's cause she loves you so, don't tell her she not lookin' so good, oh no

    Just, splash a little water on it
    See what you're working with
    Splash a little water on it
    And see if it comes alive

    Last night oh-oh it almost all went up in smoke
    You cannot choke without them knowing
    You keep on going

    We been drinkin' and smoking til four, five or six in the morning, oh-oh
    I take a splash of water to bring me around and get going, oh-oh
    You gotta treat her like a flower, man, women need time to recover, oh
    I flex at my reflection heading into the town a great hunter, yeah

    I didn't want to wake you up, it's over there
    I left some water in the cup, on the stand
    I'll call you later, oh I just I don't know when
    Here's to remind you of your man forever

    Splash a little water on it
    And see what you're working with
    Splash a little water on it
    See if it comes alive

    Last night oh-oh it almost all went up in smoke
    You cannot choke without them knowing
    Keep on going Writer/s: DAVID ANDREW SITEK, DAVID MICHAEL NAVARRO, PERRY FARRELL, STEPHEN ANDREW PERKINS
