Ain't No Man Lyrics

Ain't no man that can save me
There ain't no man that can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here
Who can cause me pain or raise my fear cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there

You got to serve something, ain't that right
I know it gets dark but there's always a light
You're gonna have to buy in to get into the club
Trade your worries
You gotta show up if you wanna be seen
If you matters to you, ma, it matters to me
I'm gonna fall hard, yeah I know I am
When the clowns crack up I laugh with them

Ain't no man that can save me
There ain't no man that can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here
Who can cause me pain or raise my fear cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there

You say you look funny, I say you're a star
I say you're whatever you think you are
Watch your naysayers fall right in line
If we believe it they'll say "She is so pretty
He is so fine"
Ain't no man that can save me
There ain't no man that can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here
Who can cause me pain or raise my fear cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there

You got to go somewhere, ain't that true
Not a whole lot of time for me or you
Got a whole lot of reasons to be mad, let's not pick one
I live in a room at the top of the stairs
Got my windows wide open and nobody cares
And I got no choice but to get right up when the sun comes through

Ain't no man that can save me
There ain't no man that can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here
Who can cause me pain or raise my fear cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there
If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it there
If you're looking for truth I'm proof you'll find it

Cover art for Ain't No Man lyrics by Avett Brothers, The

The reason no 'man ' can save them is because they believe they can only be saved by God. No man can change their soul....only God can. They only have 'Love'...Love is representative of Jesus who preached love.

It gets dark...but here is always the light. Jesus is the light that can save then from the darkness. You have to 'buy-in' to get into the club means you have to have faith and believe in Jesus to be saved.

It's no secret that the Avett Borthers are believing Christians..they've said as much in interviews. But I appreciate the subtlety of how they weave Christian teachings in to their music without it being overbearing.
