It Ain't Me
The Warren Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Born with a silver spoon
I could tell somebody told you
You hung the moon
You look so good I had to look the other way
You need a man that'll do everything you say
[Chorus]
I know baby what you need
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
It ain't me
At first you were different
Actin' like the shy type
You blew it baby you blamed it on the wine
I should have known that was the beginning of the end
But I took you back baby you did it all over again
[Chorus]
You don't think I'd leave you standing in the rain
Girl you think my love for you it'll never change
Oh, no, no, no
It used to be enough drinkin' from your lovin' cup
But tonight it's really over
So shut up and get out of my truck
I know baby what you need
I know baby what you need
I know baby what you need
Yeah I know baby what you need
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, yeah
It ain't me
The Warren Brothers' song "It Ain't Me" is a song about a man who is expressing his dissatisfaction and frustration with his relationship with a woman who comes from a privileged background. The song starts off with the man acknowledging that the woman he is talking to is daddy's little girl, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. He acknowledges her beauty but goes on to say that he needs a woman who doesn't believe that she has hung the moon and a man who will not be controlled by her.
In the chorus, he tells her that he knows what she needs, but it ain't him. The verses go on to point out that she started off acting shy, but it was just an act. She blames her actions on alcohol, but when she is sober, she does the same thing all over again. The man is tired of this cycle and is not willing to put up with it anymore.
The last verse of the song is the most enlightening. It suggests that the man was once satisfied with just having a relationship with her, but it is not enough anymore. He is now ready to move on and not be held back by her. He then tells her to shut up and get out of his truck, representing his desire to sever ties with her.
Overall, "It Ain't Me" is a song about a man who is no longer satisfied with simply being in a relationship with a woman from a privileged background. He wants a woman who is not controlling and can give him more than just her looks.
