WARREN ZEVON - SHE QUIT ME lyrics

rate me

(featured in the film Midnight Cowboy)

written by Warren Zevon, c. 1970 United Artists, c. 1996 EMI Capital Music Special Markets

It wasn't the queen of diamonds that I drew first

Instead I got the ace of spades reversed

She quit me

She up and quit me, man--yeah

She quit me

She up and she quit me

It wasn't because I didn't treat her right--no

When dawn had drawn the curtains of the night

She quit me

She up and she quit me, man

She quit me

She up and quit me--yeah

It wasn't because I didn't treat her kind

I wonder who put leaving on her mind

She quit me

She up and she quit me, man

She quit me

She up and quit me--yeah

It wasn't because I couldn't satisfy--no

Now where'd she get the nerve to say goodbye

Oh, she quit me

She up and quit me, man--oh, yeah

She quit me

She up and quit me--yeah
