I'd Be Ahead If I Could Quit While I'm Behind - Bobby Womack

I’d like to send this song out to my girlfriend

She’s was a feisty one, let’s see now

I’m sending out invitations

Gonna have me a big celebration

I’m giving up on everything I thought was mine

Thought was mine

If her love for him grows stronger

Why drag this thing out much longer?

I’d be ahead if I could quit while I’m behind

I’d be ahead if I could quit while I’m behind

They got most stuff here a hang onto

I don’t think it’s worth the changes it put me through, oh yeah

My old heart just don’t need all of that, no, no

Drinkin' coffee, waiting, I know your love ain’t returnin'

So I’d be ahead if I could quit while I’m behind

I’d be ahead if I could quit while I’m behind

I’d write a song about something real funny

If I thought everybody would laugh

I’d write a song about a whole lot of money

If I thought it could bring me some cash

I’d write a song about the trip I went on

I wish I’d never taken where you’d be

But always keep me feelin' funny, girl

You got me honey and you keep on workin' on me

I’d be ahead if I could quit while I’m behind

I’d be ahead if I could quit while I’m behind
