Commentary: The title should read "It Ain't Me, Babe," bless (or curse, your choice) my captious soul.
I tried desperately to explain to Miss Mozart that my heart just wasn't in a romance, that she'd only get hurt in the end, but in the end I agree to give her what she wanted, despite my own misgivings. I should have trusted myself, even as both she & those whose counsel I sought (& never again shall seek) urged me to "give it a shot."
"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 and 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 looking for, babe…
"I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'll only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes to you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone to die for you and more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, babe.
"You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly,
And to come each time you call,
And to love you for your life and nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, babe!"
