Overall Meaning

The song "It's Not You It's Me" by T-Pain Ft. Pitbull & Chuckie is about a man who is torn between his love for his partner and his love for partying and the lifestyle it brings. He acknowledges that his behavior is causing issues in the relationship and ultimately knows that if they break up, it's not because of anything the partner has done wrong, but rather his own inability to prioritize their relationship over his partying habits. He asks for understanding and forgiveness despite his behavior.


The lyrics are straightforward and repetitive, emphasizing the message that the man is responsible for the issues in the relationship and that the partner should not blame themselves. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that it's not the partner's fault, and that the man is aware of his mistakes.


The song also includes references to the party lifestyle, such as fist-pumping, leg cramps, and clubs, to illustrate the man's mentality and priorities. Overall, the song conveys a sense of guilt and regret for the behavior that is damaging the relationship, while also celebrating the party culture that makes it so difficult to change.

It's not you
T-Pain, Mr. Worldwide
Not you
It's not you, woah

[Verse 1: T-Pain]
I know I be, all up in these clubs
Playin' with these girls, travelin' around the world
I know I be, messin with your feelings
Money to the ceiling, it falls down to the floor
I know I be, fist pump, fist pump
Fist pumpin' like a champ

I know I be, messin' us up, and that's all that I do
So if we break up

Not you, it's not you
Not you, it's me
And I know I be trippin'
But I need you to listen, it's not you

Even though I'm messin' up
I can't stay out of this club, it's not you

[Chorus x2: Pitbull & T-Pain]
Baby it's not you it's me
It's not you it's me
Baby it's not you it's me
It's the dog in me (It's not you)

[Verse 2: T-Pain]
I know we be, kissin' all in public
And girl I love it, can't get enough of it
But girl lately, you been talkin' down
Keep me with a frown, I can't keep you around
I know I be, fist pump, fist pump
Fist pumpin' like a pro
Girl you already know, you've seen me do this before
I know I be, messin' us up, but you can't tell me what to do
So if we break up
I can tell you it's not you

[Chorus x2: T-Pain]
Not you, it's not you
Not you, it's me
And I know I be trippin'
But I need you to listen, it's not you
Not you, it's not you
Not you, it's me
Even though I'm messin' up
I can't stay out of this club, it's not you
[Chorus x2: Pitbull]
Baby it's not you it's me
It's not you it's me
Baby it's not you it's me
It's the dog in me

More for Voli, pour it like water
For 'sho fill the club like New Orleans
She this, she that, her ass so fat
And her kitty cat's down for a doggin'
Mira mamita ¿verdad que tu 'tas linda?
Rica y bonita
Pero la verdad que yo quiero tu amiguita
It's not you, it's me; I'm sorry, dale!
