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 Kings 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...



Chorus:

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...



Chorus:

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 ra rai rai da rai...

La ra rai rai rai...

Baby!

La ra rai rai rai.

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...



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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.



Outro:

I quit!

I quit!

La ra rai rai rai

I quit!

I quit!

Da ra rai rai rai

I quit!

I quit!

Ba ra ra rai rai

Ain't gonna go to work no more,

Ain't gonna go to work no more,

Ain't gonna go to work.
