Quits (Danny O'Keefe)


What do we call it now it isn't marriage anymore
Call it new call it different it's not the way it was before
Out of all the words to choose from there's only one that fits
Call it what you want I just call it quits
We've come down to the place where love never fits
Call it what you want I just call it quits

Turn and walk away 'cross the desert of our hearts
Love turns to sand and we've run out of time
You know we once had something no words could tear apart
Now you be yours and I'll be mine
Come down to the place where love never fits
Call it what you want I just call it quits

Tell all our friends about it
That we just don't care
Tell them dreams are flowers and our garden's bare
Call it separation independence divorce if that word fits
Call it what you want to I just call it quits

Well come down to the place where love never fits
Call it what you want I just call it quits
Yeah, call it what you want I just call it quits
