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
