Gilbert O`sullivan I`m A Writer Not A Fighter Lyrics

I`m A Writer Not A Fighter Lyrics

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

 

 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

 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's help

 This I will 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
