Classic Rock/Can't remember title or the band

Question
There was a song in the 60's or 70's that started out "Some girls like to run
around (dating?) every single guy in town" and goes on with "my girl (doesn't?
) run around.... cause she only wants to be with me," sung by a guy or male
band about how his girl won't run around.  I can't remember the title or the
singer(s) and can't find anything on the internet or iTunes when I type in the
fragments of lyrics that I remember.  So of course it's driving me crazy now.  
Any ideas?  I am pretty sure the singer(s) are American or British, but I've
checked the most likely ones and don't find any songs that seem to match.  
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Answer
WOW - only a few songs in that era touched on that topic (lol).

The only thing that I could come close to was by The Boppers in 1967:

SheŽd Rather Be With Me

Some girls love to run around
Love to handle everything they see
But my girl has more fun around
And you know she'd rather be with

Me-oh-my, (me-oh-my) lucky guy is what I am
Tell you why you'll understand
She don't fly although she can

Some boys (some boys) love to run around
They don't think about the things they do
But this boy (this boy) wants to settle down
And you know he'd rather be with you

Me-oh-my, lucky guy is what I am
Tell you why you'll understand
She don't fly although she can

Some girls (some girls) love to run around
Love to handle everything they see
My girl (my girl) has more fun around
And you know she'd rather be with
Ya, she'd rather be with
You know she'd rather be with me

You know she'd rather be with me....


Let me know if this is it ..... I like to keep score of all the tough ones I get!

Having grown up during the 70`s, I have a great appreciation for what I consider to be the best music ever recorded. My favourite group from that era is The Eagles and I believe that the summer of 1976 was the best summer for music releases! Ask me anything about any top 40 group from the mid 70`s to the mid 80`s and I am to say with most certainty, that I will be able to provide you with an answer!
