You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh, can't you tell by the way I run
Everytime you make eyes at me, woah

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

Yeah, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin' is 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 cry-in' and grievin'
We'll both live lots longer if you live without me, yeah

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, yeah

Yeah, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin' is I ain't ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me, yeah
