I Can't Quit Her Lyrics - Child Is Father To The Man - Blood Sweat & Tears

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 proselytized 

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 

'Til 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
