I gave up coffee and cigarettes   I hate to say it hasn't helped me yet   I thought my problems would just dissipate   And all my pain would be in yesterday      I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain   And watched my bad habits get flushed away   I thought that that would keep my head on straight   And all my pain would be in yesterday      But it's true   I'm still blue   But I finally know what to do   I must quit   I must quit   You      I thought that if I didn't go and play   The sadness would get bored and go away   I thought that if I didn't go astray   Then all my pain would be in yesterday      But it's true   I'm still blue   But I finally know what to do   I must quit   I must quit   You      I sold my guitar and my piano   I thought that it was these that kept me low   I thought if only I could try and change   That all my pain would be in yesterday      But it's true   I'm still blue   But I finally know what to do   I must quit   I must quit   You      I must quit   I must quit   You
