Well I’m afraid that’s true
I’m leaving you
But rest assured, tomorrow I’ll be home
Cuz you know I never could, I never was no good
Lord knows at bein' on my own
Never been the type to want to settle down
But never had the never to ramble on
So I’m leaving here tonight, but I’ll be back before dawn
So leave a light on and keep my supper warm
Never been a fighter or a lover
Never thought that either made much sense
And I can’t decide on this way or the other
So I live my life just sittin on the fence
And today I feel restless, but tomorrow I won’t fret this
There’s no tellin' what this boy may do
But baby guarantee the movement that I’m free
That’s when I’ll come crawlin' back to you
Never been a fighter or a lover
Never thought that either made much sense
And I can’t decide on this way or the other
So I live my life just sittin on the fence
And I don’t know you can stand it, I don’t know why you stay
But you know I never planned it to turn out this way
And I would understand it, if you coudn’t take any more
Of my always keeping one foot out the door
And I want to get married, I want to raise a family
Do the things that normal people do
But what self-respecting woman, would ever have me and not stab me
When I wanna have my cake and it too
Never been a fighter or a lover
Never thought that either made much sense
And I can’t decide on this way or the other
So I live my life just sittin on the fence
