Just Can't Quit The Blues

I been seeing the same woman
On and off for fifteen years
And it seems so many times
We just wind up in tears

I get hurt over and over
That's a pain that I can't use
But I just can't quit that woman
That means I just can't quit the blues

When we get back together
It seems so good at first
Sure enough as time passes
It just keeps on getting worse

But I keep on going back there
I just can't seem to refuse
See I just can't quit that woman
That means I just can't quit the blues

My best friends all tell me
Man, you got to let her go
And in my mind I know they're right
But my heart just says no

It's a textbook situation
I can't find the strength to choose
See I just can't quit that woman
That means I just can't quit the blues

That woman keeps me guessing
Most all of the time
I never know when something
That I do might be a crime

And I feel like I'm out walking
Out where the ice is very thin
And it's so cold underneath there
Yeah and I know I'm falling in

My own kids they tell me
Dad, put a stop to this
But they can't begin to understand
The sweetness of her kiss

So I keep on going back there
Though I know I'm bound to lose
See I just can't quit that woman
That means I just can't quit the blues

Just can't quit the blues
Just can't quit the blues
Just can't quit the blues
Just can't quit the blues
Just can't quit the blues
