It Ain't for Me Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

I have not a girl that′s mine, I have not a friend
I have not got a place to live, indeed, it seems the end
But it ain't for me
As I′ve got myself, which matters most
Throughout the life I lead

I have not a penny in my pocket and if soon
I should be found just as badly broken
I won't gloom 'cause it ain′t me
As I′ve got myself, which matters most
Throughout the life I lead

I have wandered into many a town
And have often been tempted to settle down
Yet, if I did, I'm sure I′d find
I'd always change my mind
So I′ll keep right ahead with what I'm doing


Although I have no luxuries, my mind is quite at ease
It may seem medieval, yet, it′s all that my heart pleads
And it ain't for me
'Cause I′ve got myself, which matters most
Throughout the life I lead

I have wandered into many a town
And have often been tempted to settle down
Yet, if I did, I′m sure I'd find
I′d always change my mind
So I'll keep right ahead with what I′m doing

Although I have no luxuries
My mind is quite at ease
It may seem medieval, yet, it's all that my heart pleads
And it ain′t for me
'Cause I've got myself which matters most
Throughout the life I lead

Throughout the life I lead
Throughout the life I lead
