Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Ah, can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me?
Whoa-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
[Chorus]
So, 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 sayin' you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin', I'm not ready
For any person, place, or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
[Verse 2]
So, goodbye, I'll be leavin'
I see no sense in this cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me
[Chorus]
So, 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 sayin' you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin', I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
[Outro]
So, goodbye, I'll be leavin'
I see no sense in this cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me
