Tom and Giovanna Fletcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got more comin' soon (it ain't nothin' to me)
Got natives in New Guinea with gold in their teeth
Might mean sonthin' to you
It ain't nothin' to me
(Chorus)
But when you dance I can go right with you
We got smilin' politicians
Got songs fram rich musicians
Called Tokyo long distance and the gueen came for tea
Might mean somethin' to you
It ain't nothin' to me
(Chorus)
I got a dog on my leg
I'm walking on eggs
Missionaires walking backwards
Touch 'em and they bleed
Might mean somethin' to you
It ain't nothin' to me
(Chorus)
Everyone has a message
For avoiding the wrekage
Gypsies at home watching Jerry Falwell on TV
Might mean somethin' to you
It ain't nothin' to me
Absolutely, infinitum!
Oh yes baby that's really something!
Ha! Ha! Ha
Yeah, that's really something!
Ha!
The lyrics to Tom and Giovanna Fletcher's song It Ain't Me convey a sense of detachment or disinterest in the various worldly events that the singer lists off. The repetition of "It ain't nothin' to me" emphasizes this, suggesting a lack of emotional investment in what may be considered important by others. However, despite this, the singer acknowledges that when they dance with someone else they can feel a sense of connection and unity with them. The juxtaposition of this sentiment against the dismissive tone of the rest of the lyrics suggests that human connection and emotion may be the only things that truly matter to the singer.
The specific events and items mentioned in the lyrics serve as examples of things that may be considered significant by others but hold no personal meaning for the singer. The mention of "natives in New Guinea with gold in their teeth" and "smiling politicians" suggest wealth, power, and cultural difference, while "songs from rich musicians" highlights the entertainment industry. However, the singer seems to suggest that these things are ultimately unimportant or irrelevant to their own life and experiences, perhaps questioning why they are considered important by others.
Overall, the lyrics to It Ain't Me offer a commentary on the nature of value and importance in society, suggesting that personal connection and emotion may be the only things that hold true significance.

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you and more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
And will love you for your life
And nothin' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
