She's Got A Mind Of Her Own

Bonamy James

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
