[Intro]
"I hate playing this this song
Except, with this band."
[Verse 1]
I can't quit her
She got a hand on me
She got a hold on my soul
I can't quit her
There's a sea of faith
Everywhere I go
In the city streets
In the country fields
Back of my mind
I know it can't be real
For a woman to possess
All the tenderness she has
[Chorus]
But the hands turn
Ticking at my back
'Cause it's been so long
Since I've had her back beside me
[Verse 2]
Yeah
I can't quit her
Cause on my darkest night
She comes on like a light
I can't quit her
Try as I may, with all my might
She had a woman's touch
And a young girl's eyеs
And in seconds flat I was proselytized
Turnеd around
And made to feel sweet love
[Chorus]
But the hands of time
Keep ticking at my back
'Cause it's been so long
Since I had her back beside me
[Bridge]
Alright
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
'Till I held her in my arms
Now I find that I'm strung out behind some
[Verse 3]
I can't quit her
I can't quit her
She got a hand on me
She got a hold on my soul
I can't quit her
There's a sea of faith
Everywhere I go
I can't quit her
I know right now
You know I see her face everywhere I go, say
I need her
I need the little girl
Hey!
