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
