You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can’t you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me oh
You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I’ve got my doubts
You can’t see the forest for the trees
Oh don’t get me wrong it’s not that I knock it It’s just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me Yes and I ain’t saying you ain’t pretty
All I’m saying, I’m not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So good-bye I’ll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We’ll both live a lot longer if you live without me Oh don’t get me wrong it’s not that I knock it It’s just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me Yes, and I ain’t saying you ain’t pretty
All I’m saying, I’m not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So good-bye I’ll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We’ll both live a lot longer if you live without me
