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

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

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 sayin'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 the cryin' and grievin'.

We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me.

Oh don't get me wrong
