Lyrics I'm Not the One - Snarky Puppy

I'm Not the One

You said I wasn’t ready to build a home
Cause I ain’t your servant baby
You said I was selfish and always gone with my friends
Cause living with you drove me crazy
Now if you want a little toy
Or a pet to spend your day with boy
Just know that I am not the perfect person for the role
I ain’t your mom
I ain’t your sis
I ain’t your kin
And I’ll never be
I ain’t your shrink
I’m just a kind of girl that you can’t handle
I ain’t your slave
I won’t behave
Not here to save you
I’ll never be
I ain’t your scape goat
If you think you can put this all on me
Better know I’m not the one
You said that I wasn’t there for you
Didn’t sustain you
But how could I have done this baby
You couldn’t trust yourself
Couldn’t love yourself
Couldn’t even respect yourself
My love wasn’t enough baby
I paid cause you were insecure
So now I’m wondering who’s the whore
The more I think about it
I realize that wasn’t my role
I ain’t your mom
I ain’t your sis
I ain’t your kin
And I’ll never be
I ain’t your shrink
I’m just a kind of girl that you can’t handle
I ain’t your slave
I won’t behave
Not here to save you
I’ll never be
I ain’t your scape goat
If you think you can put this all on me
Better know I’m not the one
Although we were living in hell I know we loved each other
I just couldn’t afford to pay the price with my sanity
The darkest sides of us were shinned upon when we were together
So now I need to be closer to the light
Don’t hold me back I don’t wanna fight anymore
I’m not your mom your sis your kin your shrink your pet your toy your slave I’m
not the one
