I'm A Writer Not A Fighter Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

Now some people like to fight, others don't 

And some people like to write but others won't 

Me, I think out of the two heres the one I wanna do 

If you put me in a ring 

For a few rounds of boxing 

I'll fall down right there on the ground 

'Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter, okay 

And if you take me to a place 

Where old trouble shows its face 

I'll bow out, no, I won't hang about 

'Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter, okay 

But if you came to burn my home 

I'd be out there on my own 

Fighting tooth and nail to keep you all at bay 

But don't ask me to defend 

What I cannot comprehend 

That is violence simply for violence sake 

'Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter, okay 

But if you came to burn my home 

I'd be out there on my own 

Fighting tooth and nail to keep you all at bay 

But don't ask me to defend 

What I cannot comprehend 

That is violence simply for violence sake 

Now if you want me to prove myself 

Without anybody, body's help 

Well, baby this I can do in a gentle way too 

'Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter, okay, okay 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, not a fighter 

I'm a writer, writer, not a fighter 

Fighter 

Hey baby, I'm a writer, writer, writer 

I'm a writer, I'm a writer, writer, writer 

I'm a writer, I'm a writer
