I'm Not Anybody's Girl
Kaci Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leaving everything at home
I headed out in the pouring rain
Kept thinkin' bout the two of us
And how we ended up this way
It took you by surprise baby when
I told you yesterday
Cause you never thought that
I could be that strong

And I don't have a second more
I'm gonna waste on you
And you can hate me if you need to

I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not conform
And I won't play that good girlfriend you pushed
Around before
I'm not anybody's girl
That's how it's gonna be
Can't tell me what to do or say or who to be
And the only one I'll ever answer to is me

Wasted too much time on analyzing everything I do
Only to figure out that I was wasting time on you
I don't really blame you baby I'm a little guilty too
Cause I never even told you, you were wrong

And if you think that you gotta control
Me just to be a man
Then baby you will never understand

I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not belong
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own
I'm not anybody's girl
That's just the way it is
And I will do exactly what I want to do
With anyone and anywhere I choose

And I will choose what's best for me
And I will do what comes most naturally
As long as I am free
And when I fall in love again
I'll take a vow to never bend
To someone else's vision of me
Cause I'm free

But I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not conform
And I won't play that good girlfriend you pushed
Around before
I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not belong
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own
Not anybody's girl
That's how it's gonna be
Can't tell what to do or say or who to be
Cause the only one who owns this girl is me
And I will not conform




And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own

Line by Line Meaning

Leaving everything at home
I left everything behind and started a new chapter


I headed out in the pouring rain
I courageously stepped out of my comfort zone


Kept thinkin' bout the two of us
I couldn't stop reflecting on our relationship


And how we ended up this way
And how we ended up in our current situation


It took you by surprise baby when
You were taken aback, my dear, when


I told you yesterday
I spoke my heart out to you the other day


Cause you never thought that
Because you never believed that


I could be that strong
I had the strength to stand up for myself


And I don't have a second more
I don't have any more time


I'm gonna waste on you
To waste on you anymore


And you can hate me if you need to
You can hate me if it makes you feel better


I'm not anybody's girl
I am not owned by anyone


And I will not conform
And I refuse to fit in


And I won't play that good girlfriend you pushed
And I won't play the role of the girlfriend you used to manipulate


Around before
Me, in the past


That's how it's gonna be
That's how things are going to be from now on


Can't tell me what to do or say or who to be
No one has any control over what I do or say or who I am


And the only one I'll ever answer to is me
I will only answer to myself


Wasted too much time on analyzing everything I do
We spent too much time overthinking everything I did


Only to figure out that I was wasting time on you
And found out that I wasted my time on you


I don't really blame you baby I'm a little guilty too
I don't blame you entirely, I am partly guilty too


Cause I never even told you, you were wrong
Because I never told you that you were in the wrong


And if you think that you gotta control
And if you believe that you have to control


Me just to be a man
Me, in order to be a man


Then baby you will never understand
Then you will never understand, dear


And there's nothing you can do for me
And there is nothing you can do for me


I can't do on my own
That I cannot do on my own


And I will choose what's best for me
And I will choose what is best for me


And I will do what comes most naturally
And I will do what comes naturally


As long as I am free
As long as I am free to do so


And when I fall in love again
And when I eventually fall in love again


I'll take a vow to never bend
I'll make a promise never to compromise


To someone else's vision of me
Towards someone else's idea of who I should be


Cause I'm free
Because I am free


And there's nothing you can do for me
And there is nothing you can do for me


I can't do on my own
That I cannot do on my own


Not anybody's girl
I am not someone's property


And there's nothing you can do for me
And there is nothing you can do for me


I can't do on my own
That I cannot do on my own
