i can't quit her

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

true love is somethin'

ev'ry young boy knows about

and he fights his whole soul all the 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

i can't quit her

she got her hand on me

she got a hold on my soul

'cause i 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
