Calling It Quits

Aimee Mann

He's a serious Mister

Shake his hand and he'll twist your arm,

With monopoly money

We'll be buying the funny farm,

So I'll do flips and get

Paid in chips

From a diamond as big as the Ritz--

Then I'm calling it quits

Calling it quits



Eyes the color of candy

Lies to cover the handicap,

Though your slippers are ruby

You'll be led to the booby trap,

And there's no prize just a

Smaller size

So I'm wearing the shoe till it fits--

Then I'm calling it quits

Yes I'm calling it quits

Yes I'm calling it quits



Now he's numbering himself among the masterminds

Calling it quits

Cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines

Calling it quits

Lifting dialogue from Judy Garland storylines



Where get-tough girls turn into goldmines



But oh, those Polaroid babies

Taking chances with rabies

Happy to tear me to bits--

Well I'm calling it quits

Yes I'm calling it quits

Yes I'm calling it quits

Yes I'm calling it quits

Yes I'm calling it quits

Now he's numbering himself among the masterminds

Yes I'm calling it quits

Cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines

Yes I'm calling it quits

Now he's numbering himself among the masterminds

Cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines
