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

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

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

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

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
