Lyrics :

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Evertime you make eyes at me, wo-oh
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
And I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try to pull the reins in on me

So goodbye, I'll be leaving, I see no sense
In crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer, if you live without me
Yeah

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

**Spike mumbling some yeahs and alrights**
