She`s Got A Mind Of Her Own — текст песни (James Bonamy)

(Billy Livsey/Don Schlitz)

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
