Lyrics

Well you and I
Travel to the beat of a different drum
Can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me?
Yes, you cry and moan
And say it'll work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees
Now don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a girl who wants to love only me
And I'm not saying that you ain't pretty
All's I'm saying's that I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
Well I feel pretty sure that you'll find a man
Who will take a lot more than I ever could or can
And you'll settle down with him
And I know that you'll be happy
So goodbye, I'll be leavin'
I see no sense in you cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
Aw, go Red
Well I feel pretty sure that you'll find a man
Who will take a lot more than I ever could or can
And you'll settle down with him
And I know that you'll be happy
So goodbye, I'll be leavin'
I see no sense in you cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me, babe
If you live without me, woman
Woo, If you live without me
