Shania Twain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I buy you a round?
Haven't seen your face before
Are you new in town?
It's the same old line
Oh every time
Are you here alone?
Can I take you home?
Now every woman sees
With every "pretty please"
There's a pair of lyin' eyes
And a set of keys
He says come be a star
In the back seat of my car
Oh but baby slow down
You're goin' way too far
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not
In it for love
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!
Babe I can change your world
Make you a cover girl
Yeah you could be a beauty queen
In a magazine
Now tell me, what's your sign?
Why always the same old line?
I'll be in number 409
If you change your mind
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not
In it for love
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!
If you're not in it for love
Baby, if you are not willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!
The lyrics to Shania Twain's song "I'm Outta Here!" speaks about a woman's experience with persistent men at a bar. The man offers to buy her a drink and asks if she's new in town. She realizes that this is a common pick-up line and knows where things are going. The man starts to sell himself, offering to make her a "cover girl" in a magazine and tells her to call him if she changes her mind. However, the woman is clear and upfront about her intentions - she's not interested in a one-night stand or casual fling. She's looking for someone who is willing to commit to her and build a relationship out of mutual love and respect.
The chorus is a clear warning to any man who is not there for the same reason as the woman: "If you're not in it for love, if you're not willing to give it all you got, if you're not in it for life, let me make it clear to you, my dear, if you're not in it for love, I'm outta here." It's a powerful message of self-respect and personal agency, especially for women who often experience pressure to agree to unwanted advances. In this song, Shania Twain is not afraid to stand up for what she wants and make it clear that she won't settle for less.

Mind if I sit down?
May I join you at your table?
Can I buy you a round?
May I buy you a drink?
Haven't seen your face before
I do not recognize you
Are you new in town?
Are you visiting this place for the first time?
It's the same old line
You are using a familiar approach
Oh every time
This happens frequently
Are you here alone?
Are you by yourself?
Can I take you home?
May I accompany you to your residence?
Now every woman sees
Now every woman recognizes
With every "pretty please"
With every begging request
There's a pair of lyin' eyes
There's someone deceiving you
And a set of keys
And a vehicle for transportation
He says come be a star
He propositioned being in the spotlight
In the back seat of my car
In the passenger side of his vehicle
Oh but baby slow down
Oh but dear, stop rushing
You're goin' way too far
You are proceeding too quickly
Let me make it clear
Allow me to emphasize
To you my dear
To you my beloved
If you're not In it for love
If you are not interested in a genuine connection
If you're not Willin' to give it all you got
If you are not willing to put in everything you have
If you're not in it for life
If you are not interested in a long-term relationship
If you're not in it for love
If you are not interested in a genuine connection
Let me make it clear

To you my dear
To you my beloved
If you're not in it for love
If you are not interested in a genuine connection

I am leaving!
Babe I can change your world
Honey, I can make your life better
Make you a cover girl
Make you the face of a magazine
Yeah you could be a beauty queen
You could win a beauty pageant
In a magazine
On the front page of a publication
Now tell me, what's your sign?
What is your astrological sign?
Why always the same old line?
Why do you use the same approach?
I'll be in number 409
I will wait for you in room 409
If you change your mind
If you alter your opinion
If you're not In it for love
If you are not interested in a genuine connection
If you're not Willin' to give it all you got
If you are not willing to put in everything you have
If you're not in it for life
If you are not interested in a long-term relationship
If you're not in it for love
If you are not interested in a genuine connection
Let me make it clear

Honey, if you are not ready to put everything you have in it
If you're not in it for life
If you are not interested in a long-term relationship
If you're not in it for love

Back here after her Netflix special. I'm so so glad she is back. I did not stop loving her and listening to her when she stopped singing. I introduced her to my daughter 3 yes ago. And she fell in love with the larger than life person that Shania Twain is. God bless. Long live the queen 👑💋

What I love about Shania videos is that in her upbeat tunes, she usually has something extremely cute or funny. She's always gorgeous.
