Mary Chapin Carpenter - Quittin' Time Lyrics
Hey baby tell me what we're gonna do
It's getting crazy and I need some help from you
We were so connected that you were a part of me
Now I feel an emptiness right to the heart of me
That everything is fine
And though we should be at an end
It's so hard admittin'
When it's quittin' time
Hey baby I'm running out of things to say
Please don't hate me this feeling just won't go away
Now we're spending all our time caught in a fantasy
Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be
That everything is fine
And though we should be at an end
It's so hard admittin'
When it's quittin' time
But you pretend and I pretend
That everything is fine
And though we should be at an end
It's so hard admittin'
When it's quittin' time

Mary Chapin Carpenter Quittin' Time Comments
There are really good videos of this song live
I like this better than Carole King's "It's Too Late Baby" - although I could imagine where King's song inspired this. Great songwriting and great delivery. Roger Linn and Robb Royer did well at writing; Mary Chapin Carpenter's delivery is spot on.
I love this version ,with Shawn Colvin ,
Beautiful song
I used to pound beers with her in the coffeehouses of early80s cape cod
That's great. Is she a down to earth person?
@Robert Gandy she is a great person with a good sense of humor
Mary Chapin Carpenter is World Class! Doesn't get any better!
Beautiful*****
The intro to this MEGA HIT Song sounds like her other MEGA HIT "The Hard Way" That Beat,That Drummer...is musically lethal.The lyrics are Hall Of Fame❤👍👍
I wish I had the balls.
This is good country, wish this quality of music was around today
It is. You're listening to it. This song is not that old and timeless in any case. Mary is still writing and performing. Best female song writer/performer of .... maybe ever.
This brings back such fond memories of a tragic,yet wonderful time of rediscovery, and makeover born out of the tragedy of an 18 1/2 year marriage and three children being dissolved, and the remaking, and awakening of an otherwise complacent reconciliation of mediocrity that would have otherwise not have been explored, and enjoyed. It's the pathos of anxiety about what you knew, and left behind, and anticipation and eagerness to explore things beyond the world you would have never thought of looking towards. These songs by MCC, and so many others, enriched, and filled my life with joy back in those critical days of the 80/90's.
Is Natalie merchant her brunette sister
thank good music still exist
love sonng
This sure brings back memories....I didn't realize how good it was back then, in my mid-twenties.
She is way past cool - to use a cliché.

Glad to run into another Sara Evans fan. She is awesome. A flawless voice, great talent - and best of all, the work ethic to deliver the goods.
i fell to quick bobby
it hurts before it starts
NO MORE PRETENDING...
Exactly!
ACC's #70 song of the '90 survey year. Mary-Chapin hit #7 in Billboard, 3-31-90. God bless you, Homan, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed weekend!
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine.............
Love it
Great song!
That darn beat! just gotta tap something, floor, desk anything when I hear this song!
I am glad that I'm not alone then!
Excellent song.
Great tune...
Happy Birthday Mary!!!!
Singer Songwriters say the things we all feel but can't express and she is one of the very best at it . Great song great lyrics.
this song reminds me of a great time in music and life as it was
@bshoss1 this comment could just as easily come from me as well.. I fell in love with her around the age of 17 because put into words what I couldnt.. Feelings that were just too deep for my inexperienced soul to describe.. There's love, longing, acceptance, self discovery, growth, and truth in all of her songs.. Everytime I feel like I can't take any more of life's BS, I listen to Mary, and I think "okay, I'll stick it out a while longer" ..
@Zoggles2 Didn't know there WAS a slow version. I only heard this version on the radio. God bless!
Mary-Chapin hit #7 in Billboard, 3-31-90. God bless!
I love that MCC is so humble in her presentation. The lyrics to her songs speak well of the various heart conditions we all experience. Her voice is beautiful! I also really love the tempo to her faster songs...just can't sit still!!!
I remember Stephen King's comment about how to tell a good artist versus a less-talented artist. The less talent, the fancier the floor show. Seems to hold true. MCC and her crew don't need a floor show. They deliver - period.
I love MCC!! Her songs are so real. I have loved her since my teens!
Love it.
This is some of the good stuff. Thanks. CS
thank you.
very much.
