I Can't Quit Her

I can't quit her

She's got a hold on me, she's got a hand on my soul

I can't quit her

'Cause I see her face everywhere I go

In the city streets, in the country fields

In the back of my mind, I know it can't be real

For a woman to possess all the tenderness she had

But the hands of time keep ticking on my back

'Cause it's been so long since I had her back beside me, yeah

I know

'Cause I can't quit her

'Cause on my darkest night, she comes on like a light

I can't quit her

Try as I may with all my might

She had a woman's touch, a young girl's eyes

In seconds flat, I was proselytized

Turned around and made me feel sweet love

But the hands of time keep ticking on my back

'Cause it's been so long since I had her back beside me, yeah

True love is something every young boy knows about

And he fights his heart and soul best to find some

I was a young boy 'til I held her in my arms

Now I find that I'm strung out behind some

Hey

'Cause I can't quit her

She's got a hand on me, she got a hold on my soul

I can't quit her

'Cause I see your face everywhere I go

I can't quit her, yeah

I know

You know I see your face everywhere I go

And I need her, I need the little girl

Ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I need her, I need the little girl

Ooh
