  • 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 saying 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
    Just 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 talkin' about you, baby
    But you better know before you come along

    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
    Just me and you

    I'm saying these things
    So you know me, baby
    Do 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
    Just me and you

    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 Writer/s: NEIL DIAMOND
