Waitresses

Quit

Waitresses


Not one to be alarmist 
panic's not really my style. 
Dealing with my nervousness 
and forcing a smile... see? 
I'm good at coping 
Cool, poised, self-controlled 
No that's OK I'll be alright 
These are coffee shakes, that's all 
Quit Quit I can't Quit 
Quit Quit I can't Quit

Eager for a challenge 
Sure I wasn't over my head 
Had the very best intentions 
The tougher, the better, I said 
I know you're very busy, 
I can see you're working very hard, 
but I'm scared 
Don't want to interrupt you 
But I've got to tell somebody 
that there's big trouble here 
Run for cover and say your prayers! 

Everything was researched 
followed the best advice 
Spent days on end in reference 
confirmed all sources twice 
Realistic expectations 
practical methods and tests 
Confident in the outcome 
final result this crisis 
Quit Quit I can't Quit 
Quit Quit I can't Quit 

Every angle, every option 
checked my facts again and again 
Tore it apart a thousand times 
and stood it on its head 
Went over it and over it 
considered different points of view 
Put things in perspective 
but I can't find the error 
no ideas, no clues 
Well, what the Hell am I supposed to do? 

I've really got a problem here 
...Quit... no... no problem 

I'd rather not admit it 
this is hard for me to say 
I'm proud and independent 
and I don't like to make mistakes 
But all I need is a different slant 
and objective overview 
And I couldn't keep from thinkin' 
just what it was you'd do 
Quit Quit I can't Quit 
Quit Quit I can't Quit 

You'd pull this all together 
as if it were routine 
Dazzle me with logic 
brilliant line of reasoning 
You'd crack through solutions 
your genius on demand 
You could move a little faster 
hurry up and get us out of this jam 
Cause I've given up, I Quit, I can't
