I'm heading in a new direction So don't get any big ideas I don't entertain your question Step away from my ears I don't need any of your function Forget about your big ideas If I could ever avoid rejection But don't you give no tears I said don't cry, baby This river of love of mine I said don't cry, baby I'm closing the door behind me She's dodging appointments there Waving her perfect hair She's washing her sour grapes She rinses off and escapes Now you missed this This is what you get Always getting all the big ideas Find a mouth for hesitations Finally use their ears Take another tear Not your baby tear To you reflect on what you missed See you're headed in a new dimension Don't you give it no tears I said don't cry, baby This river of love of mine I said don't cry, baby I'm closing the door behind me She's dodging appointments there Waving her perfect hair She's washing her sour grapes She rinses off and escapes
