James Bonamy - She's Got A Mind Of Her Own lyrics

She was nine years old when I first met her

She didn't dress like anyone

When she ran in a race the boys couldn't catch her

I stood back and let her run

I used to walk her home after school

Every chance that I could

I'd say to her "you're not like the other girls"

And she'd say "good"

She's got a mind of her own

She don't care what they say

They can tell her she won't

But she will anyway

She's got a mind of her own

But her heart belongs to me

The world turned and ten years later

I was playin' in a band

She was chasin' an education

College boys beggin' for her hand

I used to call her late at night

Every chance that I could

I'd say to her "I can't get you out of my mind"

And she'd say "good"

She's got a mind of her own

She don't care what they say

They can tell her she won't

But she will anyway

She's got a mind of her own

But her heart belongs to me

Here we are, a few turns later

She still don't dress like anyone

People say she's got no limits

I stand back and let her run

But when the lights go out at night

What we're feelin' is understood

I'd say to her "you're not like the other girls"

And she'd say "good"

She's got a mind of her own

She don't care what they say

They can tell her she won't

But she will anyway

She's got a mind of her own

But her heart belongs to me
