Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 lookin' for someone who's never weak, but always strong
To protect and defend you, whether you are right or wrong
[Verse 2]
Someone to open each and every door, but it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, it ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
[Verse 3]
Go lightly from the ledge, babe, go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe, I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you, someone to close his heart
[Verse 4]
Someone to 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
[Verse 5]
You say you're lookin' for someone to pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly and to come each time you call
And will love you 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
