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
