There was a time when I would
Go walking backwards round the world
If you said you're mine
And I'd run blindfolded down the
King's Road Monday morning
If you just for once arrived 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's a job I don't just need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit, I quit
The situations 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
'Cos I'm telling you now

I quit, I quit
'Cos loving you's a job I don't just need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit, I quit
The situations 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

Na da dai dai dai da dai
Da da dai dai dai
Baby, na da dai dai dai
If you'd like 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 sorry I can't be your mother
And I'm telling you now

I quit, I quit
'Cos loving you's a job I don't just need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit, I quit
The situations 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
Na da dai dai dai
I quit, I quit
Na da dai dai dai
I quit, I quit
Na da dai dai dai

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