There was a time when
I would go backwards round the world
If you said you're mine
And I'd walk blindfold
Down the King's 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

Chorus:
I quit, I quit
'Cause loving 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 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 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

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
And I'm telling you now

Chorus

I quit I quit
I quit I quit
I quit I quit
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work
