Bob Dylan "It Ain't Me Babe" Lyrics

Say what you will about the voice or his stage presence, the man's a poet. The verse beginning "go melt back in the night ..." is sheer devastation.

lyrics
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
looking
lyrics
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
lyrics
it
ain't
me,
babe.
No,
no,
no,
it
ain't
me,
babe.
It
ain't
me
you're
looking
for,
babe.
Go
lightly
from
the
ledge,
babe,
go
lightly
on
the
lyrics
ground.
I'm
not
the
one
you
want,
babe,
I
will
only
let
you
down.
You
say
you're
looking
for
someone
who
will
promise
never
to
part,
someone
lyrics
to
close
his
eyes
for
you,
someone
to
close
his
heart,
someone
who
will
die
for
you
and
more,
but
it
ain't
me,
babe,
no,
no,
no,
lyrics
it
ain't
me
you're
looking
for,
babe.
Go
melt
back
in
the
night.
Everything
inside
is
made
of
stone.
There's
nothing
in
here
moving
and
anyway
I'm
lyrics
not
alone.
You
say
you're
looking
for
someone
who'll
pick
you
up
each
time
you
fall
to
gather
flowers
constantly
and
to
come
each
time
you
call,
lyrics
a
lover
for
your
life
and
nothing
more,
but
it
ain't
me,
babe,
no,
no,
no,
it
ain't
me,
babe,
it
ain't
me
you're
looking
for,
babe.

I came up blank on the last verse, but did okay on the others. I remember The Turtles’ version better than Dylan’s, but I don’t think they changed any of the words.

I suppose that a few days from now, I might be able to get this song out of my head …

I thought typing the lyrics would get it out of my head. Ha. No dice. Spent hours last night listening to cover versions. Check out First Aid Kit's version on YouTube!
