lyrics

Some People Just Don’t Know When To Quit

It’s hard, I guess
To have the courage to admit that you’ve missed
The golden opportunities which stared you in the face
(Which stared you in the face)

Apologies, they are not needed
When you already have people’s sympathies
But when to quit?
Boy, that’s the tricky bit
And some people just don’t know
Some people just don’t know

You know that some people they just don’t know when to quit
You know that some people they just don’t know when to quit

Really, what’s the point of digging your own burial plot?
When you can’t afford a headstone or spare a second’s thought
About a witty epitaph

And what would it say?
“Here lies Keith M Thomson
He enjoyed being a slave
For other peoples fortunes
Yes, he might have failed, but at least he did not quit”
Some people just don’t know
Some people just don’t know

You know that some people they just don’t know when to quit
You know that some people they just don’t know when to quit
