"Gentle As A Lamb" lyrics

Just gentle as a lamb
Just gentle as a lamb

Some girls like boys who rough them up and slap 'em around
Like Marlon Brando does in the movies you see
If that's the kind of lovin' you want then I'm turning you down
Cause that ain't the kind of a lovin' that's appealing to me

I tell you how I am
(That's how I am)
I tell you how I am
(That's how I am)
I tell you how I am
(That's how I am)
Just as gentle as a lamb
Just gentle as a lamb

I don't like a whole lot of fussing and fighting all night
I'd much rather huddle and cuddle in the pale moonlight
I don't want a girl that's wild and a-spitting fire
I want a tender little thing whose heart's just full of desire

Yeah cause that's how I am
(That's how I am)
That's how I am
(That's how I am)
That's how I am
(That's how I am)
Just as gentle as a lamb

Cause that's how I am
(That's how I am)
That's how I am
(That's how I am)
That's how I am
(That's how I am)
Just as gentle as a lamb
Just gentle as a lamb

So turn me out to pasture, you're the honey lamb I'm after, you see
I'm tired of jumping fences by myself, come on and jump on with me
Yeah, take on my hand, pretty baby, and tell me that you're gonna stay
And I promise here's the one little lamb that'll never run away

Yeah cause that's how I am
(That's how I am)
That's how I am
(That's how I am)
That's how I am
(That's how I am)
Just as gentle as a lamb
Just as gentle as a sweet sweet little white lamb
As gentle as a lamb
Just as gentle as a lamb
Gentle as a lamb
