There was a time when I would go walking backwards
'Round the world if you said you're mine
And I'd run blindfold down the King's Road, Monday morning
If you 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 telling you now

I quit, I quit
'Cause loving you's a job I don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit, I quit
The situation's 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' ve been conscientious
But I'm taking back that heart of mine
You can't roll me 'round your tongue no more, baby
It's time to clear up your emotional debris
And if I'm falling overboard, please, don't save me
'Cause I'm telling you now

I quit, I quit
'Cause loving you's a job I don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit, I quit
The situation's 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

La da di di da di da di
La da di di da di da di
Baby, la da di di da di
It's too late to say you're sorry

You're just like every other lover
A shot rings out and you go running for cover
And I'm so sorry I can't be your mother
And I'm telling you now

I quit, I quit
'Cause loving you's a job I don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit, I quit
The situation's 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 quit, I quit
La da di di da di da di
I quit, I quit
La da di di da di da di
I quit, I quit
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work
