alvvays - not my baby

now that you're not my baby
i go do whatever i want
no need to turn around to see what's behind me,
i don't care
and it's true i've been checking out lately
i go do whatever i want
no need to turn around to see what's behind me,
i don't care
because i'm really not there (x2)

and now that you're not my baby
ill go do whatever i want
no need to sit at home with the dial tone
cause I don't care
and it's true i've been going out lately
and I go do whatever I want
you can tell your friends that I don't make sense
I don't care
...
and now that you're not my baby
i feel alive for the first time
since I don't know how long
I see a light for the first time
since I don't know how long..

❤ 2017 release

"Not My Baby"

Now that you're not my baby
I go do whatever I want
No need to turn around to see what's behind me
I don't care
And it's true I've been checking out lately
I go do whatever I want
No need to turn around to see what's behind me
I don't care

Because I'm not really there
I'm not really there

And now that you're not my baby
I'll go do whatever I want
No need to sit at home with the dial tone
'Cause I don't care
And it's true I've been going out lately
And I go do whatever I want
You can write it down with a fountain pen
Close your eyes and then count to ten
You can tell your friends that I don't make sense
And I don't care

Because I'm really not there
I'm really not there

The nite is like a fading radio
The lake was frozen over long ago

Now that you're not my baby
(Now you're not)
Now that you're not my baby
(Now you're not)

You sought an eye
So did I for an island
You sought an eye
So did I for an eye
Traded my rose-coloured shades for a wide lens
Used to make noise now I much prefer silence

Now that you're not my baby
(Now you're not)
Now that you're not my baby
(Now you're not)
Now that you're not my baby
(Now you're not)
Now that you're not my baby
(Now you're not)

I feel alive for the first time
Since I don't know how long
I see a light for the first time
Since I don't know how long

This has the one of the best bridges ive ever heard.

[corinne]

you know when you hear a song and you just feel like this song belongs to you? this is it for me. it's probably my favorite one of the album. it really brings a lot of feelings all at once, and it's the one that resonates with me the most.

[jamsee]

The motto of this song is that if nobody cares around that you've found that you thought were good, then you can go and live freely with yourself... letting go of those feelings on paper and move on with life. It's a lovely authentic song to many who understand it. You can see happiness even in a sad song :) Love Alvvays music

[swagballin]

I can’t explain what I feel when I listen to this song. It makes me sad and happy at once. I’m cheerful but I miss someone or something...

[JCTiggs]

I love Alvvays. For some reason their songs take me back to my childhood, there's an old school style to their music.

[ahmog]

post breakup song... ORIGINAL.. truly describes the feeling after getting over .. and discovering a new experience.

[kalaprox]

This song helped me get rid of lots of negative people that were holding me back so happy to have found this song

[lorelaim]

there's always one part in an alvvays song that is the best part and in this one it is 2:45-3:11

[wolfgang]

I'm glad I discovered alvvays and thier music it's like whenever I play one of thier songs I just get that nostalgic feeling and memories of me being happy going outside having fun which never happened but still end up feeling better about myself

[smyparanoia]

This is Alvvays at their best.
Brilliant record <3

[sonisenk]

I didn't know this was just exactly what I needed to listen to today.

[genova]

Since I've discovered this song, it's been playing non-stop !!_!! Thanks Alvvays

[jonathanbaker]

This has turned into my fave on the album in the past few months

[leonngumba]

Such a cool song..takes me back to 1981

[Review]

Might very well be the group's most underrated song

[ceruleanrapture]

this music band give me something special
i cant describe what's that exactly but its reminded me my innocent childhood and sunny days without being worry about anything
something that i want it so bad right now

[softcoreluvr]

wish I had heard this song when I broke up with my ex. But this gives me such a reminiscent & lovely feeling of moving on from toxicity. Thank you, alvvays ♥︎

[diazalbn]

this song makes me happy and sad in the same time.

[Denise-bdti]

This is my fav song ever, never gets old
