I Ain’t the One Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jessi Colter]
If you're looking for someone who's got it all to give
If you looking for someone who won't care how you live
If you're looking for someone who's only lovin' you
I ain't the one I ain't the one

[Verse 2:[Waylon Jennings]
If you're looking for someone to dry your tears when you cry
If you're looking for someone to turn his back each time you lie
If you're looking for someone to walk on then walk by
But I ain't the one I ain't the one

[Chorus:Jessi Colter,Waylon Jennings]
I ain't the one to let you do what you want to
I ain' the one who sits still and let you be untrue
I ain' t the one who'll go on loving you no matter what you do
I ain't the one I ain't the one

[Verse 3:Jessi Colter,Waylon Jennings]
Just keep looking further down the road
You might find yourself someone who likes walking alone
Someone you'll play with and leave dead by the road
I ain't the one I ain't the one

[Outro]
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
