Different Drum

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'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

Oh, 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
