I Can't Quit Her / For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her Songtext
von The Arbors

I can′t quit her, she 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, 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

Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you


I can't quit her ′cause in my darkest night
She comes on like a light
I can't quit her, try as I may, with all my might
She had a woman′s touch, young girl's eyes
And in seconds, flat I was hypnotized
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

Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you

Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you

Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I love you
