Lyrics
He drinks, he smokes
He’ll cuss, he swears, and he tells bad jokes
Yeah, he ropes, and he rides
He lives life fast, and he loves to fight
He’s a boozer, a loser
He calls me up when he’s had too much
He’s a schemer, a dreamer
When I tell him to change his ways
He just turns to me and says
I, ain’t no quitter
No, I ain’t giving up on him just yet
Cause I’m as stubborn as a girl can get
No he won’t quit, but you can bet
I’m sticking to it
I, ain’t, I ain’t no quitter
He chews, and he spits
Well he flirts too much, and he loves blond chicks
He struts, and he strolls
And he looks so cool, and yeah, he knows
He’s a beauty, a cutie
His body rocks and the girls they flock
He’s afflicted, addicted
When I tell him to change his ways
He just turns to me and says
I, ain’t no quitter
No, I ain’t giving up on him just yet
Cause I’m as stubborn as a girl can get
He won’t quit , but you can bet
I’m sticking to it
I, ain’t, I ain’t no quitter
Whoo
Ah, his body rocks, and the girls they flock
He’s afflicted, addicted
When I tell him to change his ways
He just turns to me and says
I, ain’t no quitter
No
I ain’t giving up on him just yet
Cause I’m as stubborn as a girl can get
No, I ain’t giving up on him just yet
Cause I’m as stubborn as a girl can get
No he won’t quit, but you can bet
I’m sticking to it
I, ain’t, yeah I ain’t no quitter
No believe me
I , ain’t , no quitter
Oh baby, I, ain’t, Yeah I ain’t no quitter
