It Just Won’t Quit Songtext
von Jim Steinman

And I never really sleep anymore
And I always get those dangerous dreams
And I never get a minute of peace
And I gotta wonder what it means
And I gotta wonder what it means

Maybe it′s nothing and I'm under the weather
Maybe it′s just one of those bugs going round
Maybe I'm under a spell and it's magic
Maybe there′s a witch doctor with an office in town

Is this a blessing? Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?

Will it go on forever? Is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?

I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit
I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit
I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit
I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit


And there used to be such an easy way of living

And there used to be every hope in the world

And I used to get everything that I went after

But there never used to be this girl
No there never used to be this girl

Maybe I'm crazy and I′m losing my senses
Maybe I′m possessed by a spirit or such
Maybe I'm desperate and I got no defenses
Can you get me a prescription for that one perfect touch?

Is this a blessing? Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?

Will it go on forever? Is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?
Is it a stairway to heaven?
Or a subway going down to the pit?

I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit
I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit
I don′t know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won′t quit


There was a time when nothing ever really mattered
There was a time when there was nothing I didn′t know
There was a time when I knew just what I was living for
There was a time and the time was so long ago
There was a time and the time was so long ago

And I never really sleep anymore.
