I Ain't the One Lyrics

When the moon is rising and looking on me
When the night comes knocking, knocking on me
I say, I ain't the one
I say, I ain't the one
I ain't the one that you looking for now

When the man comes asking and looking for me
When the law comes knocking, knocking on me
I ain't the one
(Ah, ah)
No, I ain't the one
I ain't the one that you're looking for now
Yeah, I ain't the one
I ain't the one
So now I'm leaving you all behind me

When the world comes crashing, crumbling on me
When the day comes knocking, knocking on me
I say, I ain't the one
I ain't the one
Hey, ha ha
Hey, ha ha
I ain't the one, I ain't the one
So now I'm leaving you all behind me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This structure of this song reminds me a whole lot of The Agony of Lafitte. I think it really kicks in the last minute or so of the song.
