I gave up coffee and cigarettes 
I hate to say it hasn't helped me yet 
I thought my problems would just disappear 
And all my pain would be in yesterday 
I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain 
And watch my bad habits get flushed away 
I thought that would keep my head on straight 
And all my pain would be in yesterday 
But it's true I'm still blue 
But I finally know what to do 
I must quit, I must quit you 
I thought that if I didn't go and play 
The sadness would get bored and go away 
I thought that if I didn't go astray 
That all my pain would be in yesterday 
But it's true I'm still blue 
But I finally know what to do 
I must quit, I must quit you 
I sold my guitar and my piano 
I thought that it was these that kept me low 
I thought if only I could try and change 
That all my pain would be in yesterday 
But it's true I'm still blue 
But I finally know what to do 
I must quit, I must quit you 
I must quit, I must quit you
