It Just Won't Quit
Written by Jim Steinman, 1989
Performed by Pandora's Box (1989) and Meat Loaf (1993)
and I never really sleep anymore
and I always get those dangerous dreams
and I never get a minute of peace
and I gotta wonder what it means
and I gotta wonder what it means
maybe it's nothing and I'm under the weather
maybe it's just one of those bugs going round
maybe I'm under a spell and it's magic
maybe there's a witch doctor with an office in town
is this a blessing? or is it a curse?
does it get any better? can it get any worse?
will it go on forever? or is it over tonight?
does it come with the darkness? does it bring out the light?
is it richer than diamonds?
or just a little cheaper than spit?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
and there used to be such an easy way of living
and there used to be every hope every joy
and I used to get everything that I went after
but there never used to be this boy
but there never used to be this boy
| and there used to be such an easy way of living and there used to be every hope in the world and I used to get everything that I went after but there never used to be this girl but there never used to be this girl |
Esta es la estrofa que sustituye a la anterior, en la versión de Meat Loaf en el "Bat out of Hell II". Las diferencias, y sus motivos son obvios... |
maybe I'm crazy and I'm losing my senses
maybe I'm possessed by a spirit or such
maybe I'm desperate and I've got no defenses
can you get me a prescription for that one perfect touch?
is this a blessing? or is it a curse?
does it get any better? can it get any worse?
will it go on forever? or is it over tonight?
does it come with the darkness? does it bring out the light?
is it a starway to heaven or a subway going down to the pits?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
is this a blessing? or is it a curse?
does it get any better? can it get any worse?
will it go on forever? or is it over tonight?
does it come with the darkness? does it bring out the light?
is it richer than diamonds?
or just a little cheaper than spit?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
there was a time when nothing ever really mattered
there was a time when there was nothing I didn't know
there was a time when I knew just what I was living for
there was a time and the time was a long ago
there was a time and the time was so long ago
and I never really sleep anymore....
