You and I travel to the beat of a different drum

Oh, can't you tell by the way that I run

Every time you make eyes at me? Whoa-oh-oh

You cry, and always say it'll work out

Oh, but honey child, I've got my doubts

You can't see the forest for the trees

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I knock it

It's just that I'm 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 saying is I'm not ready

For any person, place or thing

To try and pull the reins in on me

So-oh-oh-oh 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

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I knock it

It's just that I'm 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 saying is I'm not ready

For any person, place or thing

To try and pull the reins in on me

So-oh-oh-oh-oh, 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

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum (if you live without me)

We travel to the beat of a different drum (if you live without me)

We travel to the beat of a different drum (if you live without me)
