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 ....
