I should have quit you a long time ago
Yes, I should have quit you, baby, a long time ago
You know I wouldn't be here now, people, down on the killing floor.

If I'd 'a' listened to my second mind
Yes, if I had listened to my second mind
You know I wouldn't be here now, people, down on the chillin' floor.

(1st instrumental)

If I'd 'a' listened to my second mind
Yes, if I had listened to my second mind
Whoa, I wouldn't be here now, people, down on the chillin' floor.


I should have gone on when my friend said come to Mexico with me
Yes, I should have gone on when my friend said come to Mexico with me
Well, you know I wouldn't be here now, people, down on the killing floor.

(2nd instrumental)

Yes, I should have quit you, baby, a long, long time ago
Yes, I should have quit you, baby, a long time ago
You know I wouldn't be here now, people, down on the killing floor.
