I Ain't No Quitter
Shania Twain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

This track has the hallmarks of country music. Steel guitar, acoustic and bass guitars. The fiddle is a great touch. To me, these things make great country music. When the artist/producer starts going into synthesizers and drum machines, its no longer country.

This is one of Shania's very rare true stone country song. A lot of her work is crossover worthy. Some of Nashville critics tend to dismiss at country-pop.
