"It Ain't Me, Babe" lyrics - LUCY KAPLANSKY

Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need

You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong

Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let your down

You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart

Someone who will die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go melt back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone

You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call

A lover for you life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babeI
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
