           D                   C
Go 'way from my window,
D                                             G
Leave at your own chosen speed.
      D                         C
I'm not the one you want, babe,
      D                         G
I'm not the one you need.
       Bm7                    Am7
You say you're lookin' for someone
                     Bm7                      Am7
Who's never weak but always strong,
        Bm7                   Am
To protect you and defend you
             Bm7                      Am
Whether you are right or wrong,
     C                                                  D
Someone to open each and every door,
                G
But it ain't me, babe,
C          D              G
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
          C                D        G
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 and 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 in the night,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
And 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
And to come each time you call,
A lover for your life and 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.

Someone to open each and every door,

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


Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here that's a-moving,
And anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Pick you up each time you fall,
Someone who gathers flowers constantly
And to come each time you call, oh yeah!
A lover for your life and 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.
It ain't me you're lookin' for.
