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
I quit, I quit
'Cos loving you is
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
I'm telling you now
I quit, I quit
'Cos loving you is
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
Da de da da
da da da da
Da de da da da da
Baby, da de da da da
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
I'm telling you now
I quit, I quit
'Cos loving you is
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 quit I quit
da de da da da
I quit I quit
da de da da da
I quit I quit
da de da da da
Ain't gonna go
to work no more
Ain't gonna go
to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work
