What makes you think, I don't know what's up

Don't waste time, boy

'Cause I'm up on your stuff



Can't you see that I am sorry

This was my first mistake

Ooh, I'm no fool, and that's for sure

So come on now and give me a break



You ought to quit with your jive

You ought to quit with your lies

You ought to quit with your jive

You ought to quit with your lies



Please understand me

I have to let you go

What's important now is

That we both know



Don't you know if we should part now

This would break my heart?

Oh, no, no, there's nothing else left between us

You have what you want, now we must part



You ought to quit with your jive

You ought to quit with your lies

You ought to quit with your jive

(Stop tellin' lies, babe)

You ought to quit with your lies



I did my best to try and fight it

I know that I was wrong

You should have thought about it then

Now go away and leave me alone



You ought to quit with your jive

(Say what?)

You ought to quit with your lies

You ought to quit with your jive

(Stop tellin' lies, babe)

You ought to quit with your lies



You ought to quit with your jive

(I didn't mean to you wrong)

You ought to quit with your lies

(I'm so sorry)



You ought to quit with your jive

(Please)

You ought to quit with your lies

(Give me one more chance)



You ought to quit with your jive

(No more stories, no more lies)

You ought to quit with your lies

(Can't you see I'm tired of your jive)

You ought to quit with your jive



(Ooh, oh, oh)

You ought to quit with your lies

{Sorry, baby)

(It's too late)

You ought to quit with your jive
