Lyrics 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
