I'm Not The One Lyrics
I'm not the one
That you'll be shooting for
I'm not the one
Who's coming back for more (you know why)
We've been through this to many times (you know why)
It's never clear it's pantomime
Going round and round (round and round)
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going round and round (round and round)
Still taking all the heat
Going round and round (round and round)
Never letting down
I'm not the one
Whose memory you still keepin'
I'm not the one
Who's talking in your sleep (you know why)
I don't have to tell you twice (you know why)
I knew when you weren't so nice
Going round and round (round and round)
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going round and round (round and round)
Still taking all the heat
Going round and round (round and round)
Never letting down
I'm not the one
That you'll be breaking in
I'm not the one
Who could be taken in (you know why)
I tried and tried to crack the shell (you know why)
When you fake it's hard to tell
Going round and round (round and round)
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going round and round (round and round)
Still taking all the heat
Going round and round (round and round)
...
That you'll be shooting for
I'm not the one
Who's coming back for more (you know why)
We've been through this to many times (you know why)
It's never clear it's pantomime
Going round and round (round and round)
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going round and round (round and round)
Still taking all the heat
Going round and round (round and round)
Never letting down
I'm not the one
Whose memory you still keepin'
I'm not the one
Who's talking in your sleep (you know why)
I don't have to tell you twice (you know why)
I knew when you weren't so nice
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going round and round (round and round)
Still taking all the heat
Going round and round (round and round)
Never letting down
That you'll be breaking in
I'm not the one
Who could be taken in (you know why)
I tried and tried to crack the shell (you know why)
When you fake it's hard to tell
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going round and round (round and round)
Still taking all the heat
Going round and round (round and round)

haha, this is a melancholy tune, but when i hear it, i think of the movie Billy Madison when they play this song during the scene where the fat school principal gives billy that valentine that says "i love you billy ps- im horny"
Seems like the singer is the fall-back person for the target of the song. She meets someone, dates the new person for a while, probably lives with them and then when things fall apart she returns to the singer. This routine has been going on for a while and the singer is finally opening his eyes to the situation; that sometimes he may be her only choice but he will never be her first choice.
