Lyrics
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, 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

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm knockin'
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 saying's 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'm knockin'
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 saying's 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
If you live without me, if you live without me, if you live without me
