Certain Songs

I decided to change the 'Songs That Never Get Old' posts into these...just because 'Songs In The Key Of Life' will look SO much better on the t-shirts and bumper stickers once I get the chance to sell out!

This song is, in my humble opinion, one of the finest pop songs ever written. I have heard probably 15 version of it and liked almost all of them. FUN FACT: This is the only song in my drunken karaoke repertoire that has a female vocalist...and sometimes I am TOO drunk and forget to change the song to a guy's perspective, which can be a problem depending on the neighborhood I am in, but I digress...



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
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

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

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

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

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
