I Can't Quit Her

Blood Sweat And Tears · Child Is Father To The Man [1968]

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 pros'lytized

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'

Ev'ry 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



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
