Lyrics

CALLING IT QUITS

I?m getting tired of sitting at home
And waiting for you to come over or phone
I just can?t take it another day
Find someone else to put up with your ways
There?s lots of fools just waiting out there
And frankly my love, I don?t care

I?m gonna call it quits
I?m getting tired of your little tricks
I want no part of your wandering eyes
Those terrible lies and the whole darn bit
I?m gonna set you free
No I?m not gonna let you walk on me
And I?m not gonna let you break my heart
You might be smart but you?ll never get me

One of these days your gonna be all alone
And you?ll be crying, oh yea crying
Your gonna pay a mighty big price for all that lying
But don?t come to me with a bucket of tears
Cause I?m not buying
No I?m not buying

No one can tell me that I haven?t tried
And though you deceive me still I stood by your side
I wanted to hold you but you turned away
I wanted to love you, but you wouldn?t stay
Don?t look so surprised, what else can I do?
I finally give up on you.

I?m gonna call it quits
I?m getting tired of your little tricks
I want no part of your wandering eyes
Those terrible lies and the whole darn bit
I?m gonna set you free
No I?m not gonna let you walk on me
And I?m not gonna let you break my heart
You might be smart, but you?ll never get me
