KILLING FLOOR
I should have quit you a long time ago (2x)
I should have quit you and gone on to Mexico
If I had a followed my first mind (2x)
I'd a been gone since my second time
I should have went on when my friend: "Come to Mexico with me." (2x)
But fooling with you baby, I Iet you put me on the killing floor
Lord knows I should have been gone (2x)
Then I wouldn't be here, down on the killing floor
