Ain't My Bitch
Metallica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of my way, out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one
Into your step but out of time

Headstrong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch (yeah)
It ain't my bitch

Oh, down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell you been?
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again

Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all before
You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless, yeah
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
No, out of my way

Out of my way, out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one
Into your step but out of time

Headstrong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless, yeah
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch

No way but down, why are you around?
No fooling, yeah
It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
It ain't my bitch
Oh, it ain't mine

Ain't mine, your kind
You're stepping out of time
Ain't mine, your kind
You're stepping out of time

Taking me down, why are you around?
No fooling
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call




It ain't my, oh, bitch
You ain't mine
