CALL IT QUITS

by Stan C. Countz

Don’t expect me to be doin’ anything but fine
I won’t be cryin’ and ballin’ or tryin’ to be callin’
Won’t be leavin’ any messages for you of any kind
So don't call or text me even if I cross your mind

I ain’t comin' back; I'm closing that door
Thought I’d be sad, but I'm not anymore
Thought I’d have it bad, be mad or bored
Couldn’t stand to see your face anymore

Thought I’d be goin’ crazy or maybe just climbin’ the wall
Thought losin’ you would hit me as I was cruisin’ the mall
Couldn’t stand to see your picture when you’d make a call
Took your picture out of my phone and off my wall

{CHORUS}
Guess we hit a brick wall so let's just call it quits
It's probably better if we ‘fess up and just admit
We gave it a shot; gave it all we got; I thought you were hot
But if I’m not takin’ your calls it's just ‘cuz it’s all
Too hard to admit; it’s gonna be hard to call it quits
I ain’t pitchin’ a fit, I took my hits
I’m at the end of my wits
It’s gonna be hard to call it quits

I still wake up and try to find my coffee cup
I still shower and shave and rant and rave
And I still can’t ever get quite enough
Tryin’ my best to be tough and brave
I’m tryin’ to behave…but

{CHORUS}

Oh, I ask politely about you whenever I’m in town
I try to get up to speed on everything that’s goin’ down
But the last thing I need's another round with you
Sure I played the game but I don’t wanna play the fool

You know it's all wrong when the feelin’s long gone
And there ain't nothin’ goin’ on anymore
You know that you're through when she don't do to you
The things she used to do before

You wanna be close, but your heart is exposed
You try to kiss her, but your eyes won't close
Then the red light goes off and she knows
You’re at the end of the road

{CHORUS}

{OUTRO}
We gave it all we had and it's sad
But you know it’s over this time
So don’t be tryin’ to leave messages
Don't wanna find out where you been
‘Cuz I ain’t gonna take you back again
