It Ain't Me Babe Lyrics - Sandy Denny

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 

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 you 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 into the night, babe, 

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 your life an' nothing more, 

But it ain't me, babe, 

No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, 

It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
