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 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, 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 sayin', 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
