I'm a Lover (Not a Fighter) Songtext
von Skeeter Davis

I only married you for love, dear
I didn′t go for all of your dough
Now and then you say you love me
But honey, baby, it don't show

I never seemed to please you lately
′Cause all you ever do is complain
I'm sick of this fussin' and fightin′
So baby, let your loving woman explain

I′m a lover not a fighter
I kinda like it that way
If you want a fightin' partner
Go live with Cassius Clay


A woman is soft and tender
And willing to love her man
So why don′t you take advantage
Of the woman that you know I am

I don't want to fuss and fight, dear
For the rest of my natural life
Stop treatin′ me like your enemy
Start treatin' me like a wife

I′m a lover not a fighter
I kinda like it that way
If you want a fightin' partner
Go live with Cassius Clay

I'm a lover not a fighter
I kinda like it that way
If you want a fightin′ partner
Go live with Cassius Clay

I′m a lover not a fighter
I kinda like it that way...
