It's a beautiful day today, everything is going my way
Even the words do what I say, oh babe, got to get away
To be impossible, isn't that difficult
In the city you're invisible, when you come from a small town
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
A tourist in a traffic jam, baby sham and handy cam
I'm not your mother, you're not my man, I'm not your baby
Don't treat me like I'm a trick, I won't treat you like you're a prick
Don't need no doctor, I'm not ill, I'm not your baby
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
Cut out the poetry, lets hit the main artery
No time for a tourniquet, the colors all run out of me
You brought me all kinds of goods, now my heart is so full up it hurts
It's heavy as a shopping bag, it's full of things I should give back
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
I'm not your baby
I'm not your baby
Don't want you to cover me, smother me or mother me
I like to feel this incomplete, I'm not your baby
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
Not dizzy, just busy, didn't drink nothing fizzy
No pills to feel easy, don't know what got into me
Daylight's a kind of robbery, the night is your geography
So you're not white, you're pink and rosy
You could be right, but you're way above me
Me, I'm in recovery, a star of pornography
I'm a tourist, there's a lot to see
You don't like the photographs of me
So you've got a lot to say
You don't sleep around, but sometimes you stray
You don't believe, often times you pray
For something, what is it babe
Don't treat me like I'm a trick, I won't treat you like you're a prick
Don't need no doctor, I'm not sick, I'm not your baby
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby
I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby
I'm not your baby
Even the words do what I say, oh babe, got to get away
To be impossible, isn't that difficult
In the city you're invisible, when you come from a small town
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
A tourist in a traffic jam, baby sham and handy cam
I'm not your mother, you're not my man, I'm not your baby
Don't treat me like I'm a trick, I won't treat you like you're a prick
Don't need no doctor, I'm not ill, I'm not your baby
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
Cut out the poetry, lets hit the main artery
No time for a tourniquet, the colors all run out of me
You brought me all kinds of goods, now my heart is so full up it hurts
It's heavy as a shopping bag, it's full of things I should give back
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
I'm not your baby
I'm not your baby
Don't want you to cover me, smother me or mother me
I like to feel this incomplete, I'm not your baby
Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
Not dizzy, just busy, didn't drink nothing fizzy

Everything is all right, everything is all right
I'm not your baby, please
I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby
I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby, I'm not your baby
I'm not your baby

On one hand I'm surprised nobody has commented on this song, but then I think a lot of people have never heard it. Sinead O'Connor guest-starred on this track, as well.
It's from the soundtrack to a Wim Wenders movie called "The End of Violence," which is a fantastic soundtrack, actually. It has not only this U2 song but a clever track by Tom Waits called "Little Drop of Poison" which showed up many years later in the soundtrack to Shrek 2, but I was among the few who knew it did not originate there.
This album also had Roy Orbison's last song, "You May Feel Me Crying," and a lot of other great songs.
Bailare el Marecumbe!
Actually maybe the reason people haven't commented on this one is that the words to this one are pretty self-explanatory...
