Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for
Go lightly from the ledge babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for
Go melt back in to the night babe
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothin' in here that's a moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for

Bryan Ferry (born September 26 1945) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who rose to prominence as the lead singer and main songwriter for the influential art/glam rock band Roxy Music.

Ferry’s unique vocal style puts a wry, sophisticated spin on the sound of the crooners of the mid 20th-century. An accomplished songwriter, his solo career also saw him singing celebrated covers of the Great American Songbook and jazz standards. On his seminal 1973 solo album These Foolish Things he also covered ’60s hit rock songs like the Rolling Stones' “Sympathy for the Devil” and the Beatles “You Won’t See Me,” establishing something of the formula for his solo albums until the 1980s.

He dated model Jerry Hall, before her marriage to Mick Jagger. Their break up inspired his 1978 solo album The Bride Stripped Bare. After putting Roxy Music on hiatus 1982, Ferry released Boys and Girls in 1985, featuring original material. Ferry’s solo career has extended into the new millennium with a collection of Bob Dylan covers entitled Dylanesque. His 2014 album Avonmore returns to his classic Roxy Music sound.
