Well now it's all over
Now you say we're through
You've gone an' left
You say you found somebody new

That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now

Now I tried my best to please you
And all I do is hurt
Each time I try to tease you
You say you're going away to stay

That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now

You might as well come back to me
And do the things you should
Now I'll tell you just one fact you see
Though you might as well be good

Say you used to love me
With all your heart an' soul
But now that you're above me
You say your love is goin' cold

That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now

You say you used to love me
With all your heart an' soul
But now that you above me
You say your love is goin' cold

That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now

Quit me now
Quit me now
Quit me now
Quit me now
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now!
Oh-oh
