I don't have a lot but with me that's fine,
Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine.
I don't go around with the local crowd.
I don't dig what's in, so I guess I'm out.
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby.
So you understand what I'm all about.

The boat that I row won't cross no ocean;
The boat that I row won't get me there soon.
But I got the love and if you got the notion,
The boat that I row's big enough for two,
Me and you.

There ain't a man alive can tell me what to say.
I choose my own side and I like it that way.
I don't worry about all the things that I'm not.
There's only one thing that I want I ain't got.
You know that I'm thinkin' about you, baby.
But you better know before [bad word] along.
