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, whoa-oh
You cry and you 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'm knockin'
It's just that I'm not in the market
For a girl 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 the cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me

Oh, don't get me wrong it's not that I'm knockin'
It's just that I'm not in the market
For a girl 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 the cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me
