She Quit Me Lyrics - Warren Zevon

(featured in the film Midnight Cowboy) 

written by Warren Zevon, c. 1970 United Artists, c. 1996 EMI Capital Music Special Markets 

It wasn't the queen of diamonds that I drew first 

Instead I got the ace of spades reversed 

She quit me 

She up and quit me, man--yeah 

She quit me 

She up and she quit me 

It wasn't because I didn't treat her right--no 

When dawn had drawn the curtains of the night 

She quit me 

She up and she quit me, man 

She quit me 

She up and quit me--yeah

She up and she quit me, man 

She quit me 

She up and quit me--yeah
