from
Hide Away: The Best of Freddie King (Rhino R2-71510)
Well now it's all over
Now you say we're through
You've gone an' left
You say you found somebody new
That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now
Now I tried my best to please you
And all I do is hurt
Each time I try to tease you
You say you're going away to stay
That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now
You might as well come back to me
And do the things you should
Now I'll tell you just one fact you see
Though you might as well be good
Say you used to love me
With all your heart an' soul
But now that you're above me
You say your love is goin' cold
That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now
You say you used to love me
With all your heart an' soul
But now that you above me
You say your love is goin' cold
That's what you think
That's what you think
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now
Quit me now
Quit me now
Quit me now
Quit me now
You can lay off a while
But you sure can't quit me now!
Oh-oh
