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.

 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.
