I know you're holding your breath You're wondering what's coming next Can't be too careful this time No Love ain't something you trust You've seen a little too much of the quittin' kind That pain you're wrestling with I know right where it lives Been there a couple of times Always 'almost in tears' Living in fear of the quittin' kind If you don't know what you're got I'll tell you one thing it's not It's not the kind of love that would turn and run This one's steady and strong This one will keep going on and on and on To the end of time It ain't the quittin kind You don't have to be scared We're not going back there We're going to leave it behind All that sorrow and grief those bad memories of the quittin' kind If you don't know what you're got I'll tell you one thing it's not It's not the kind of love that would turn and run This one's steady and strong This one will keep going on and on and on To the end of time It ain't the quittin kind This one's steady and strong This one will keep going on and on and on To the end of time It ain't the quittin kind Quittin' kind no no no It ain't the quittin kind
