Etheridge, Melissa - Bring Me Some Water Lyrics






Tonight I feel so weak
But all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
And I know you're only human
And I haven't got talking room
But tonight while I'm making excuses
Some other woman is making love to you

Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
I don't know how I'm gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soul

When will this aching pass
When will this night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity that temporary kind
Tell me how will I ever be the same
When I know that woman is whispering your name

Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
I don't know how I'm gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soul

Oh, the Devil's got my soul

Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
I don't know how I'm gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soul

Etheridge, Melissa Bring Me Some Water Comments
  1. K.... T....

    forget the hair, the voice got her a contract. rightfully so
    this is the one that got it all started! bravo.
    she's the best
    Got to love this raspy voice she has....damn she is so good.

  2. M.... B....

    Just the best

  3. J.... W....

    I don't like her guitar shape

  4. J.... M....

    Inspired by Barbara Stanwyck being nicknamed as "Missy" I have long termed this outrageously Sapphic bonafide RockStar as Melissa "Missy"Etheridge. Not actually a fan of Missy, this very early tune is a bit of a guilty pleasure to me. I do like the tune, which is,thankfully presented here in it's studio vesion ,and not actually live,as claimed here.. The melodramactiness of the song are somewhat appealing to me. Far on the other spectrum, this is something you would actually expect to have been written by a Queen. Could there be more softness in a lesbian than I am aware of ? I mean the sad Whitney Houston and the supertalented KD Lang were quite romantic and ,of course, made very soft music..........

  5. U.... K....

    Melissa ..holde the Line...wonderfull

    Toured recently with , of all people, the petite ultra femme breeder Pat Benatar. both are fine rockers, Good that we accept everyone as individuals. Pat and her Neal may never understand Missy's sexuality but they admire her musicianism. xox

  66. D.... v....

    Sexy girl.....

  67. K.... K....

    Ggreat musician I have seen her when she was in the bars plus a ton of times in concert. I will have to say the gat audience has supported her one hell of a lot and she sure treats her gf and baby mamas like shit. Look into it. i am in the law in LA and everyone could not believe how rude she was.

  68. A.... R....

    this is a great rock song, does not matter if you side with it, it matters more if it rocks you

  69. D.... ....

    Melissa Etheridge is one artist that should've been huge in 1988, sadly a lot of people were flocking to freestyle pop music and the hair bands during that time period.

    D.... ....

    She was big back then, this song got played a lot on the radio. Like the way I do got a lot of airplay as well.

  70. M.... R....

    Who is the lead guitar guy?

  71. R.... H....

    How is this live?

  72. A.... ....

    TOP 1000 SONGS OF ALL TIME. Brilliant vocals and lyrics. Fab :)

  73. G.... S....

    She's so passionate… in every way…

  74. C.... H....

    Whoever posted this does not know the definition of live

  75. K.... T....

    2018 and I still love it.

  76. C.... J....

    this is the one that got it all started! bravo.

  77. E.... T....

    WHAT A SET OF PIPES!!!!!

  78. C.... A....

    I love her. one of the best artists ever.

  79. J.... S....

    87 people don't know good music

    J.... S....

    87 People was the guilty

  80. P.... B....

    I love your songs Melissa

  81. P.... B....

    I love your songs Melissa

  82. N.... S....

    Dude, she rocks so hard.
    I feel bad for anybody who cant get down to this.

    N.... S....

    I feel sorry for anyone who F#(ks with her girl.
    Seriously.
    xxx

    N.... S....

    Not so hard. Breeders Chrissy Amphlett (The Divinyls) and Johnette Napolitano(Concrete Blonde), though not actually heavy, were two of the very few examples of some femme chicks who rocked harder than Missy. And, of course, we have Ms. Wendy O. Williams out there.

  83. T.... P....

    So incredibly amazing. I absolutely love this song. Wow, wow, wow. So intense

  84. D.... T....

    wow what a song I remember this there s no soul in rap not like blues

  85. B.... A....

    almost looks like vince gill playing guitar

  86. N.... F....

    Listening to this reminds me of why I was so completely obsessed with her.

  87. j.... h....

    wow some body bring me some water, one of the most awesome musicians in my life!

  88. F.... D....

    Yes. Sometime I run with this song. I hope that nobody ask me ": Do you want some water? "😱

  89. 1.... ....

    she is playing a 12 string, impressive

  90. R.... B....

    My sister lived in Australia for a couple of years back 90 /91 I was into the early rave scene jungle hardcore & house. It was refreshing to also have some proper ROCK music and decent lyrics. Timeless music ;-)

  91. t.... ....

    Her duet with Kelly Clarkson is bomb

  92. J.... K....

    As good as it gets!

  93. V.... P....

    Oh, the Devil's got my soul

    Somebody bring me some water
    Can't you see I'm burning alive
    Can't you see my baby's got another lover
    I don't know how I'm gonna survive
    Somebody bring me some water
    Can't you see it's out of control
    Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind
    But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soul
