It Ain't Me Babe - Bob Dylan / Turtles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
It Ain't Me Babe (Bob Dylan, 1964; Turtles, The, 1965). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-11-15. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"It Ain't Me Babe," written by Bob Dylan, was the Turtles' debut single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart rising to the no. 8 position in 1965, while Johnny Cash and June Carter's version stalled at the no. 58 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart a year earlier (Whitburn, 2013). Songfests (2022) noted that legend has it that the line "'"Go away from my window...' is a shout-out to fellow folk-singer John Jacob Niles' song "Go 'Way From My Window' - Dylan cited Niles as an early influence" additionally, the phrase "no, no, no, it ain't me babe" is a response to the Beatles' song "She Love You;" "She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah; also the refrain "no, no, no, it ain't me babe" is a call-back to the Beatles' "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah," as heard in their song "She Loves You" (songfacts, 2022). Biographers have claimed that the song was written about Dylan's relationship with then girlfriend, Suze Rotolo (L. Holden, grunge, Jan. 10, 2022).

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 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
A-no, no, no it ain't me, babe
Well, 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 lead you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me, babe
A-no, no, no it ain't me, babe
Well, it ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
No it ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
I said a-no, no, no, it ain't me, babe
I said a-no, no, no, it ain't me, babe
I said a-no, no, no, it ain't me, babe
I said a-no, no, no, it ain't me, babe
