I can't quit her
She's got a hold on me
She got her hand on my soul
I can't quit her
Cause I see her face
Everywhere I go

In the city streets
Country fields
In the back of my mind
I know it can't be real
For a woman to possess
All the tenderness she had

But the hands of time
Keep ticking on my back
Cause it's been so long
Since I had her
Back beside me

Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

I can't quit her
Cause in my darkest night
She comes on like a light
I can't quit her

Try as I may
With all my might
She had a woman's touch
A young girls eyes

And in seconds flat
I was hypnotized
Turned around and
Made to feel sweet love

But the hands of time
Keep ticking on my back
Cause it's been so long
Since I had her
Back beside me

Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you...
