I'm A Lover (Not A Fighter)

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 didn'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.

--- Instrumental ---

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.
