Lyrics
When we used
To say goodnight
I'd always kiss
And hold you tight
But lately
You don't seem
To care
You close the door
And leave me
Standing there
Oh, honey
That's not fair
That's it
I quit
I'm movin' on
The other night
We had a date
And you showed up
Two hours late
And though your hair
Was all in place
Somebody smeared
Their lipstick
On your face
Oh, they smeared it
Every place
Yeah, yeah that's it, honey
I quit, I'm movin' on
Ooh
You made me want you
You made me leave you
You made me tumble
And fall
But if I
Can't have you the way
I want you
I don't want you at all
Baby, I can take a lot
'Cause I love
Everything you got
Though your kisses
Sooth me so
If you've got someone else
I gotta go
Oh, that you know
Yeah, that's it, honey
I quit, I'm movin' on
Ooh
You made me want you
You made me leave you
You made me tumble
And fall
But if I can't have you
The way I want you
I don't want you at all
Baby
I can take a lot
'Cause I love
Everything you got
Though your kisses
Sooth me so
If you got someone else
I gotta go
Oh, that you know
So that's it
Baby, I quit now
I'm movin' on
So that's it
Baby, I quit
Oh, I'm movin' on
