I can't quit her

She's got a hold on me

She got her 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 tickin' on my back

'Cause it's been so long

Since I had her back beside me

Yeah I know

I can't quit her

'Cause on my darkest night

She comes on like a light

I can't quite her

Try as I may with all my might

She had a woman's touch

And a young girls eyes

And in seconds flat I was pros'lytized

Turned around

And made to feel sweet love

But the hands of time

Keep tickin' on my back

'Cause it's been so long

Since I had her back beside me

Yeah

True love is somethin'

Ev'ry young boy knows about

And he fights his

Whole soul best to find some

I was a young boy

'Till I held her in my arms

Now I find that I'm strung out behind some

Hey

I can't quit her

She got her 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 woo ooo yeah

I know

You know I see your face

Everywhere I go

I need her

I need the little girl
