When we used to say goodnight
I'd always kiss and hold you tight
But lately you don't seem to care
You closed the door and
Leave me standing there
Oh, honey, that's not fair

That's it, I quit
I'm moving on

Yeah, the other night we had a date
And you showed up two hours late
And though your hair was all in place
Somebody smeared the
Lipstick on your face, oh
They smeared it every place

Yeah, that's it, honey
I quit, I'm moving on

Oh, you made me want you
You made me need 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, yeah

Baby, I can take a lot
Cause I love everything you got
And though your kisses thrill me so
If you've got someone else
I've gotta go, oh
And that you know

Yeah, that's it, honey
I quit, I'm moving on

Yeah, now, you made me want you
You made me need 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, yeah

Baby, I can take a lot
Cause I love everything you got
And though your kisses thrill me so
If you've got someone else
I've gotta go, oh, and
Honey, that you know

Yeah, that's it
Baby, I quit, I'm moving on

And one more time
That's it, honey, I quit
I'm moving on

Mmm, I'm moving on
You done me wrong
So I'm moving on
Mmm, I'm moving on
