I'm Not the One Lyrics


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 aloneCause I'm not the one
I'm not the one
You wanted it all
But I ain't gonna give you none
Cause, I'm not the oneNow 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 onCause I ain't the one
I I ain't the one
Now you wanted it all
But I ain't gonna give you none
Cause, I'm not the oneI'm not the oneNow 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 gonna hurt me noneCause I ain't the one
I'm not the one
Now you wanted it all
But I ain't gonna give you none
I ain't the one
I'm not the oneI ain't the one
You wanted it all
But I ain't gonna give you none
Cause, I'm not the one
I'm not the one
I'm not the one
I'm not the one

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

In 1972 her album A Child of the Seventies was shelved by Atlantic Records, then thought lost forever in a fire. She eked out a living on the European festival circuit, occasionally surfacing such as with the disco single "Doin' the Best that I Can"...
