There was I time when I would
Go walkin backwords round the world
If you said you're mine,
And I'd drive blindfolded
Down the Kings road Monday morning
If you'd just for once arrive on time
But you turned into another liar
And you came on like a new messiah
So before you say what you desire
I'm tellin you now
Chorus:
I quit, I quit
Cause loving you is a job I don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit I quit
The situations vacant for me
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work
I got my hands dirty
While you rolled cigarettes with one eye on the time
I tried my hardest I'd been conscientious
But I'm takin back that heart of mine
You can't roll me when you're tired no more baby
It's time to clear up your emotional debris
And if i'm fallin overboard please don't save me
Cause I'm tellin you now
(Chorus)
(It's too late to say you're sorry)
You're just like every other lover
A shot rings out and you go runnin for cover
And I'm so sorry I can't be your mother
And I'm tellin you now
(Chorus)
Go walkin backwords round the world
If you said you're mine,
And I'd drive blindfolded
Down the Kings road Monday morning
If you'd just for once arrive on time
But you turned into another liar
And you came on like a new messiah
So before you say what you desire
I'm tellin you now
I quit, I quit
Cause loving you is a job I don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit I quit
The situations vacant for me
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work
While you rolled cigarettes with one eye on the time
I tried my hardest I'd been conscientious
But I'm takin back that heart of mine
You can't roll me when you're tired no more baby
It's time to clear up your emotional debris
And if i'm fallin overboard please don't save me
Cause I'm tellin you now
You're just like every other lover
A shot rings out and you go runnin for cover
And I'm so sorry I can't be your mother
And I'm tellin you now
