I Ain't No Quitter
he drinks-he smokes
he'll cuss-he swears-he tells bad jokes
yeah, he ropes-he rides
he lives life fast, and he loves to fight
he's a boozer-a loser
calls me up when he's had too much
a schemer-a dreamer
BRIDGE:
when i tell him to change his ways
he just turns to me and says
"I ain't no quitter."
CHORUS:
No, I ain't givin' up on him just yet
'Cause I'm as stubborn as a girl can get
He won't quit-but you can bet
I'm stickin' to it
I-ain't-I ain't no quitter
he chews-he spits
he flirts too much, and he loves blonde chicks
he struts-he strolls
he looks so cool, and yeah, he knows
he's a beauty-a cutie
his body rocks and girls they flock
he's afflicted-addicted
BRIDGE
CHORUS
ah-his body rocks, and he wears tight clothes
afflicted-addicted
BRIDGE
CHORUS
No, i ain't givin' up on him just yet
'cause i'm as stubborn as a girl can get
No , i ain't givin' up on him just yet
'cause i'm as stubborn as a girl can get
he won't quit-but you can bet
i'm stickin' to it
I-ain't-I ain't no quitter
I-ain't-no quitter
oh baby, I-ain't-I ain't no quitter

Please Do Not Resist
At nighttime I have found my mind,
Can not unwind.
You've got my insight on a hold...
All thoughts I've left behind.
And I know you're not the kind,
To try to probe and define me.
And feeling good I surely do...
Because of you it's true.
A taste I want a little bit...
Of it.
Yes.
A taste I want a little bit,
But I am not a quitter.
I know I'll try to get as much of it,
As I can get.
Oh I know I am persistent...
And it's to your benefit.
A taste I want a little bit...
Of it.
Yes.
A taste I want a little bit,
But I am not a quitter.
And...
I know I'll try to get as much of it,
As I can get.
Oh I know I am persistent...
And it's to your benefit.
And I know you're not the kind,
To try to probe and define me.
And feeling good I surely do.
Because of you it's true.
A taste I want a little bit...
Of it.
Yes.
A taste I want a little bit,
But I am not a quitter.
I know I'll try to get as much of it,
As I can get.
Oh I know I am persistent...
And it's to your benefit.
A taste I want a little bit...
Of it.
Yes.
A taste I want a little bit,
But I am not a quitter.
I know I'll try to get as much of it,
As I can get.
Oh I know I am persistent...
And it's to your benefit.
Oh I know I am persistent...
And from me you can't resist!
Oh I know I am persistent...
And from me you can't resist!
I know I am persistent!
You can not resist.
I know I am persistent!
You can not resist.
A taste I want a little bit.
Please do not resist.
A taste I want a little bit.
Please do not resist.
A taste I want a little bit.
Please do not resist.
I know I am persistent!
You can not resist.

He's Got The Look
1-2-3-4
walking like a man
hitting like a hammer
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter
tasty like a raindrop
she's got the look.
Heavenly bound cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog
she's got the look.
chorus:
She's got the look.
(She's got the look.)
She's got the look.
(She's got the look.)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la she's got the look.
Fire in the ice naked to the t-bone is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum
shaking like a mad bull
she's got the look.
Swaying to the band
moving like a hammer she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean
kissing is the wet sand
she's got the look.
Chorus
walking like a man
hitting like a hammer
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter
tasty like a raindrop
she's got the look.
And she goes: na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.
Chorus
What in the world can make you so blue,
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la...... na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look
na na na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look
na na na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look
na na na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look

Night Life
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Oh the neons are a gleamin and the gamblers are a dreamin
Oh its night life, yeh! night life
The chips are a spillin and its time to make a killin
Oh its night life, yeh! night life
Oh the pockets are a-burnin and the money flies
With dice roll a-turnin and youll hit snakes eyes
You cant be a quitter when youre caught up in the glitter of
Night life night life
Therere long legged women who will take you for a trimmin yes its night life
Oh night life.
Their lips taste like honey but theyre out to spend your money
Yes its night life. oh yeh!
Just roll that seven and youll hear them shriek
When seven come eleven its a lucky streak
You cant beat the drama, the excitement and the glamour
Of the night life, I said that night life
So place your bet, come on make your play
Though you may regret it at the break of day
I said you cant be a quitter when youre caught up in the glitter of
Night life night life
Yeh! that night life, good ol night life
Night life, yes, yes, night life, oh night life

Staying Sober
Whatever you may think
(However bad you feel)
Your cutting down on the drink
Is really quite a big deal.
You'll lose a bit of weight
And feel a good bit fitter,
So admit that you are great
And certainly no quitter!

Wuss
feeling like a
wuss
the feeb
in her
seems to be ineffectual
now
amidst the
shrubs and bushes
she breaks away
walking under the sun
bowing her head
hiding her eyes
under the shade of
her gray fedora hat
she is not
a quitter all she wished
is that she becomes
another
Bob Dylan
and i know
all the wimps
cannot hold her
back
she simply decides
to be otherwise
beginning
this day

What I have been and I will be
In life I've been a believer
Problems made me stronger
I will never be a quitter
Because I am a fighter
In life I've been in a discrimination
Tears fall, I asked for a protection,
I've found my shoulder to cry on
And now they are an inspiration
In life I've been an observer,
I planned and become a dreamer
I collected books and become a reader
Sooner or later I will be a writer.

Sad Lover
If honesty is returned with lies
Then I shall be a liar
If a giving heart is deemed unwise
Then I shall be the wiser
If “being there” breeds lonely cries
Then I will be no shoulder
If a second chance is not a prize
Then I shall be a quitter
For those with evil in their eyes
Cannot know love so true
Though they may try to reach the skies
They are impure, and never do
If I should be a bit precise
These words I’d say to you:
Were I to meet a sad demise
I’d be as such, like you.

Best Always
Best always,
West always,
Crest always,
Rest always,
Nest always,
Pest always,
Guest always,
Arrest always;
But, it is set apart for a special use.
Lest always,
Jest always,
Test always,
Chest always,
Quest always,
Vest always,
Zest always;
But, you are set apart for a purpose.
Litter, glitter, bitter, critter, hitter, fitter, quitter, sitter;
And like a name well pronouced by its bearer! !
But, try to build up your life according to the plans of a positive character.

A Daughter You Always Wanted
i know you're near,
watching from above,
making sure,
i'm who you wanted me to be,
or maybe more?
do i make you proud?
am i everything you hoped?
maybe more?
i don't want to let you down,
so when i fall,
i get right back up,
you didn't raise a quitter,
you've raised a winner,
everybody likes me,
nobody want to compete with me,
you have a strong girl,
who stays strong through tough times,
i may fall but,
with a mother lik you,
i've learned how to get right back up
and try again.

Weasel Face
Twenty four hours ago
No one could help me
I'm alone in life
No where to go
So I picked up the phone
Called out for help
Some one please help me
I'm afraid and alone
Weasel face
Weasel face
Weasel face
It's way past midnight
T.V. set is on
It's my only friend
One crisis after another
Ain't no loser or quitter
It's all or nothin' baby
'Cause we fought so hard
For our piece of this world
Weasel face
Weasel face

Memo To My Son
What have you done to the mirror?
What have you done to the floor?
Cant I go nowhere without you?
Cant I leave you alone any more?
I know you dont think much of me
But someday youll understand
Waitll you learn how to talk, baby
Ill show you how smart I am
A quitter never wins
A winner never quits
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
Maybe you dont know how to walk, baby
Maybe you cant talk none either
Maybe you never will, baby
But Ill always love you
Ill always love you

Like You And I Were In A Marriage?
You say I have been harsh and critical,
Aloof and seem to be unreasonably embittered.
You also make claims I have been unapproachable,
And that my actions are more like a quitter.
You say,
Whenever you come to visit my home...
I sit with very little to exchange in conversation.
And my hospitality has begun to get 'edgy'...
As if I don't want to communicate in the sharing of,
Those topics you pick.
'I see...
When was the last time you invited me,
To come to your home?
Or invited me out anywhere? '
Well...
I...uh...live in a...uh,
Neighborhood I don't particularly like.
And besides...
I like your music.
The meals you cook are delicious.
And...
Where else can I go,
To use a computer, watch anything I want on TV...
And not be disturbed by noisy neighbors.
'I see.
Like you and I were in a marriage? '
No. No...
Nothing like that.
Just good friends.

The End
'Its not you, its me'
No, this is not enough
To throw my heart so cruel
Must have not been that tough.
'We should move on'
Ofcourse, because the funs all over
What you wanted, you're done
So why now be lovers?
'You deserve someone better'
Why dont let me catch your pal
I know he aint a quitter
Why you jealous seeing us curl?
'We still could be friends'
Are you expecting any benefits?
Could you even be pity
I've just had a rough kick.
'You're a good girl'
You make me doubt that now
How you left this good girl
Has made my faiths bow.
'I really had a fun time'
I wish I could ever explain
All those funs, all those times
Baby, that was my love blamed.....

Seeing Yourself In A Mirror
on a fading day
between your busy hour and that moment
when you want to stop
or quit
you stand in front of a mirror
and ask yourself: is this worth it?
there is this voice which says
you must quit, you have had enough
there is no use
of another day
you stare and another image stares back at you
it is worth it
there is no justification to quit
you make
a difference
then you tighten your belt and with your hands
you iron out what is creased
you promise
you will go neat with life
you will finish what you have started
the voice comes assuredly like a
conscience
you make a difference
you are not a quitter
you are a winner.
