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 proselytized,
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'
every young boy knows about
and he fights his whole soul all the best to find some.
I was a young boy
'til 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.
