You Better Quit
One Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "You Better Quit" by One Way is an expression of frustration towards a person who is constantly lying and being deceptive. The lyrics are addressed directly to this person, urging them to stop with their jive and lies. The singer is not falling for their trickery and is aware of their deceitful ways. The singer also expresses regret for their own mistakes in the situation, but ultimately decides that it is best to end things between them. Despite this decision, the singer still hopes that the other person will change their ways and give them another chance.
The repetition of "You ought to quit with your jive" and "You ought to quit with your lies" emphasizes the singer's firm stance and unwillingness to put up with any more deception. The use of "jive" also conveys a sense of annoyance and dismissal towards the other person's attempts to manipulate. The sentiment of the song is reinforced by the energetic and upbeat melody, which underlines the message of standing up for oneself and not tolerating dishonesty.
Overall, "You Better Quit" is a strong assertion of self-respect and the importance of honesty in relationships. It urges listeners to recognize and reject deceitful behavior, and to prioritize healthy communication and mutual trust.

kiddprinceton

Al Hudson and 1 way are cold as ice! This is a stellar jam.
Phillip Chambers
In my opinion, the 70's & 80's was the best music eras EVER!!!!!
Charles Mosley
I've been looking for this one for years here on YouTube. I remember hearing this on WDAS fm. in Philadelphia on the Saturday night party jams in the late 1990's. they never said who this was and I searched for years. after tirelessly searching here on YouTube I've finally found it. I can rest. . .and get down to this jam for real. thanx for posting it!
karameldreem
It's on their cutie pie album .
Andy Pandy
It must have been extra difficult as they sing "you oughta quit" or something similar and not "you better quit" as in the title which is unusual in itself. Might even have cost them some sales when it was originally out.
Charles Mosley
@Andy Pandy yep. when i originally heard it my best guess was that it was Rene & Angela. for some time i thought it was until i found everything they recorded in that time period. wasn't them. process of elimination, i guess.
Galen Walker
Never get enough of this one !
