I’m Not the One Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

I′ve been tried
And I've been tested
I was born tired
And I still ain′t got rested

Harder than Marble stone
I'm better off
I'm better off left alone

′Cause I′m not the one
I'm not the one
You wanted it all
But I ain′t gonna give you none
'Cause, I′m not the one

Now you talk to me
Like I'm a kid
′Cause when your daddy said jump
Your mama did
And you know, and your daddy knows


Your mama knows and I know
That's wrong
So now it's time
For you to move on

′Cause I ain′t the one
I ain't the one
Now you wanted it all
But I ain′t gonna give you none
'Cause, I′m not the one

I'm not the one

Now you thought
I was normal
All these years
I′m just trying to warn you

You'd do good
To move on
'Cause it won′t hurt me honey
It ain′t gonna hurt me none

'Cause I ain′t the one
I'm not the one
Now you wanted it all
But I ain′t gonna give you none
I ain't the one


I′m not the one

I ain't the one
You wanted it all
But I ain't gonna give you none
′Cause, I′m not the one

I'm not the one
I′m not the one
I'm not the one
