There was a time when I would go walking backwards
'Round the world if you said you're mine.
And I'd run blindfold through the Back Bay Monday morning
If you'd 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 tellin' you now

I quit, I quit
'Cause lovin' 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 on by,
With one eye on the time
I've tried my hardest I've been conscientious,
But I'm takin' 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 lovin' 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.

(Baby) Di di di di endi, Yeah, (Baby)
Di di, Yeah, Di di di di, Yeah
It's to late to say you're sorry.

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

I quit, I quit
'Cause lovin' 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

(I quit, I quit), Di di di endi di, (I quit, I quit), Di di di endi di
Ain't gonna go to work no more, Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work.
