You're Not the Kind Songtext
von Count Basie

You say you′re falling in love with me
That's why I sit here and cry
For that is something that never can be
And here′s the reason why


For you're not the kind of a boy (girl) for a girl (boy) like me
'Cause I′m just a song and a dance, you′re a symphony
You say that you never would doubt me
Well, I'm tellin′ you, you'd be much better off with out me
′Cause I'm just the kind of a girl (boy) who would never play fair
And you′re just the kind of a boy (girl) who would always be square
It's so hard to let you go but it's only because I know
That you′re not the kind of a boy (girl) for a girl (boy) like me

For you′re not the kind of a boy (girl) for a girl (boy) like me
'Cause I′m just a song and a dance, you're a symphony
You say that you never would doubt me
Well, I′m tellin' you, you′d be much better off with out me
'Cause I'm just the kind of a girl (boy) who would never play fair
And you′re just the kind of a boy (girl) who would always be square
It′s so hard to let you go but it's only because I know
That you′re not the kind of a boy (girl) for a girl (boy) like me
