It Ain't Me Babe (The Byrds/Bob Dylan Cover)
My version of The Byrds Cover of a Bob Dylan song. Did this because I like the song, though not the best vocal performance, but I tried. Did this more for me.
Members of The Jay Dyall Project and The DyallTones, and friends, recording Cover Songs Our way!
Story behind the song
Did this closer to The Byrds cover than the Bob Dylan original.
Lyrics
It Ain't Me, Babe
Written by: Bob Dylan
Go away 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 looking 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 aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
Im not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say youre looking 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 and more
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
Short Break
Go melt back into the night, babe
Everything inside is made of stone
Theres nothing in here moving
And anyway Im not alone
You say youre looking for someone
Wholl pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers with you constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
I said No, no, no, it aint me, babe
I said No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe ...
