Well, you can take a horse to the water (horse to the water)
But you can't make him drink (can't make him drink)
Whoa no, whoa no, whoa ho no-ho
A friend of mine in so much misery
Some people sail through life
But he has struck a reef
I said: 'Hey man, let's go out and get some wisdom'
Oh well first he turned on me
Then he turned off his nervous system
Oh you can take a horse to the water (horse to the water)
But you (you) can't make him drink (can't make him drink)
Oh no (oh no), whoa no, ow whoa no no no-ho-o-o
Yeah and you can have it all laid down in front of you (all staked out in front of you)
But it don't make you think (don't make you think)
Oh no (oh no), oh no-ho, oh no-ho-o-o
Someone I love has gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth
But he would like a drink (he would like a drink)
I said: 'Hey man this could turn out to be risky'
But first he turned on me
Then he downed another bottle of whiskey
Oh yeah yeah-he
You can take a horse to the water (horse to the water)
But you can't make him drink (can't make him drink)
Oh no (oh no), oh no no, oh no-ho-o
Yeah and you can have it all staked out in front of you (all staked out in front of you)
But it don't make you think (don't make you think)
Oh no (oh no), oh no ho no no no-ho-o-o

There's a preacher out there, warning me about Satan
Well it could be that he knows him
'Cause he acts like he's possessed (acts like he's possessed)
I said: 'Let's hear about God realisation For a change'
He said: 'We don't got time for that
Let's hear the evils of fornication'
Ow you can take a horse to the water (horse to the water)
But you can't make him drink (can't make him drink)
Oh no no no (oh no), no ho (oh no), oh no-ho
Yeah and you can have it all staked out in front in front of you (all staked out in front of you)
But it don't make you think (don't make you think)
Oh no (oh no), oh no ho (oh no), oh no-o ho ho ho hu ho ho
(Horse to the water
Can't make him drink)

Yea-hey yeah-hey yeah hey

But it don't make you think (don't make you think)
Oh no, oh no-ho-o, oh no-o-o-o-ho-ho
