Bettye LaVette - Thankful N' Thoughtful

I'm Not The One

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
And you wanted it all
But I ain't gon' 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 gon' 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 gon' hurt me, none

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

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

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