It Ain't Me, Babe (Bob Dylan)
Go away from my window, go at your own chosen
speed. I'm not the one you want, babe, I'm not
the one you need. You say you're looking for
someone who's never weak, but always strong, To
protect you and defend you whether you are right
or wrong. Someone to open each and every door
[chorus]:
But it ain't me, babe, No, no, no, it
ain't me, babe. It ain't me you're
looking for, babe.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe, go lightly on
the ground. I'm not the one you want, babe, I
would only let you down. You say you're looking
for someone who will promise never to part.
Someone who'll close his eyes for you, someone
who'll close his heart. Someone who'll die for
you and more
[chorus]
Go melt back into the night, babe, everything
inside me is stone. There's nothing in here
moving, and anyway I'm not alone. You say you're
looking for someone to pick you up each time you
fall, To gather flowers constantly, and to come
each time you call, A lover for your life and
nothing more
[chorus]
