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

Chorus :
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
