Quit - The Waitresses

Not one to be alarmist

Panic’s not really my style

Dealing with my nervousness

And forcing a smile… see?

I’m good at coping

Cool, poised, self-controlled

No that’s OK I’ll be alright

These are coffee shakes, that’s all

Quit Quit I can’t Quit

Quit Quit I can’t Quit

Eager for a challenge

Sure I wasn’t over my head

Had the very best intentions

The tougher, the better, I said

I know you’re very busy

I can see you’re working very hard

But I’m scared

Don’t want to interrupt you

But I’ve got to tell somebody

That there’s big trouble here

Run for cover and say your prayers!

Everything was researched

Followed the best advice

Spent days on end in reference

Confirmed all sources twice

Realistic expectations

Practical methods and tests

Confident in the outcome

Final result this crisis

Quit Quit I can’t Quit

Quit Quit I can’t Quit

Every angle, every option

Checked my facts again and again

Tore it apart a thousand times

And stood it on its head

Went over it and over it

Considered different points of view

Put things in perspective

But I can’t find the error

No ideas, no clues

Well, what the Hell am I supposed to do?

I’ve really got a problem here

…Quit… no… no problem

I’d rather not admit it

This is hard for me to say

I’m proud and independent

And I don’t like to make mistakes

But all I need is a different slant

And objective overview

And I couldn’t keep from thinkin'

Just what it was you’d do

Quit Quit I can’t Quit

Quit Quit I can’t Quit

You’d pull this all together

As if it were routine

Dazzle me with logic

Brilliant line of reasoning

You’d crack through solutions

Your genius on demand

You could move a little faster

Hurry up and get us out of this jam

Cause I’ve given up, I Quit, I can’t
