You got out on the wrong side of bed this morning
And you started right in on me
The first thing I heard was some angry words
And that’s the last thing that I need
You call at me work
Chewing me out
Telling me what I forgot to do
Now you come home, you’re itching for another round
But honey, I’m no match for you
‘Cause I’m a lover, not a fighter
And you’ve been picking on me all day
This could turn into an all-nighter
If you don’t put the gloves away
This fussing and fighting has got to cease
Honey, all I want is just a little peace
I’m a lover not a fighter
So let’s love the fight away
Well, you know that I don’t like confrontation
But I can take care of myself
So, if you’re looking for a sparring partner
You can just look somewhere else
I can go the distance when it comes to love
And I always finish what I start
So don’t waste my time going hand-to-hand
‘Cause I’m better at heart-to-heart
I’m a lover not a fighter
And you’ve been picking on me all day
This can turn into an all-nighter
If you don’t put the gloves away
This fussing and fighting has got to cease
Honey, all I want is just a little peace
I’m a lover not a fighter so let’s
Love the fight away
I’m a lover not a fighter
And you’ve been picking on me all day
This could turn into an all-nighter
If you don’t put the gloves away
This fussing and fighting has got to cease
Honey, all I want is just a little peace
I’m a lover not a fighter
So let’s love the fight away
I’m a lover not a fighter
A lover not a fighter
I’m a lo-lo-lo-lo lover
I’m a lo-lo-lo-lo lover
