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
