    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
    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 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 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 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
