Different Drum
Dancing to a Different Drum: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Victoria Shaw's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
You and I travel to the beat of a diff'rent drum.
You and I follow different paths or have different approaches in life.
Oh, can't you tell by the way I run
My actions and behavior clearly indicate my independent and unique way of living.
Ev'ry time you make eyes at me. Wo oh.
Every time you express romantic interest in me.
You cry and you moan and say it will work out.
You express concerns and optimism, but I have reservations.
But honey child I've got my doubts.
Despite your emotions, I remain skeptical or uncertain.
You can't see the forest for the trees.
You fail to see the bigger picture due to being too focused on small details or issues.
Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm knockin'.
I don't criticize, but I want to clarify my perspective.
It's just that I'm not in the market
I'm not looking for a committed relationship at the moment.
For a girl who wants to love only me.
I'm not interested in a girl who exclusively wants to be with me.
Yes, and I ain't sayin' you ain't pretty.
I acknowledge your attractiveness.
All I'm sayin's I'm not ready for any person,
I'm not prepared for any person, place, or thing to control or restrict me.
Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me.
I resist being constrained or limited.
So Goodbye, I'll be leavin'.
I'm saying goodbye and leaving the situation.
I see no sense in the cryin' and grievin'.
I don't see the point in unnecessary emotional distress.
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me.
Our lives will be better if we go our separate ways.
Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm knockin'.
I reiterate that it's not criticism but a clarification.
It's just that I'm not in the market
I'm not seeking a committed relationship at this time.
For a girl who wants to love only me.
I'm not interested in exclusivity in love.
Yes, and I ain't sayin' you ain't pretty.
I acknowledge your beauty.
All I'm sayin's I'm not ready for any person,
I'm not prepared for any form of control or restriction.
Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me.
I resist being limited by anyone or anything.
So Goodbye, I'll be leavin'.
I'm saying farewell and departing.
I see no sense in the cryin' and grievin'.
I don't see the value in unnecessary sadness and sorrow.
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me.
Our lives will be prolonged if we live separately.
