song "The Girl Is Mine" sung by M jackson P McCartney

Chronologically it can't be Jackson/McCartney, the Kinks have a song called "I'm a Lover Not a Fighter" from 1966. Like most English idioms, I'm gonna guess it definitely pre-dates both songs and is a result of colloquial slang become part of the national irregularity over time, and Ray Davies (of the Kinks) probably heard it in a cafe somewhere and thought it'd suit a song. He might well have popularised the phrase though - the Kinks are a great band.
Where did the express "I'm just saying" originate?

The expression some people use when they are in error, "It's my bad." Is it just me, or is anyone else tired of it? :)
