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'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 telling you now?
* I Quit! I Quit! 'Cause 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 whole 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
( * )
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 that I can't be your mother
( * )
