There was a time when I would go walking
Backwards round the world
If you said you´re mine
And I´d run blindfolded down the King´s Road Monday morning
If you just for once arrived 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 just 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´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 just 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
If you´d like 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 sorry I can´t be your mother
And I´m telling you now
I quit, I quit
Cause loving you´s a job I just 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 quit, I quit
I quit, I quit
I quit, I quit
Ain´t gonna go to work no more....
