The Gardener & The Tree
​boxing
[Verse 1]
It took a moment, then she saw me smile
I said, "I'm sorry, but I like your style"
But I could not deny
She was walking with pride
Over the schoolyard
I said, "I like it when you walk that way
But if I'm honest, girl, I know you're playin'"
But I could not deny
I was waiting in line
Just waiting to watch you

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never

[Chorus]
Let me introduce you
To the strangers in my backyard
Yeah, they're always acting noisy
Sayin' that they just wanna meet you
Let me introduce you
To thе strangers in my backyard
Yeah, they'rе always acting noisy
Sayin' that they just wanna meet you
[Verse 2]
And now it's easy, that I make you smile
You come on over, said the show was so wild
But I could not deny
All the people in line
Were waiting to watch too
I said, "I saw you with your hair so white"
She said, "So crazy that you noticed me too"
But I could not deny
All the people in line
Weren't waiting to watch you

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never

[Chorus]
Let me introduce you
To the strangers in my backyard
Yeah, they're always acting noisy
Sayin' that they just wanna meet you
Let me introduce you
To the strangers in my backyard
Yeah, they're always acting noisy
Sayin' that they just wanna meet you
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And now it's easy when you call my name
I see the light so clear, but so is my head
And I still can't deny
All the people in line
Weren't waiting to watch you
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never for boxing
Yeah, I was never for boxing
