I'm Not Sayin'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I'm Not Sayin'" is a song written by Gordon Lightfoot. It was released on his 1966 debut album Lightfoot!. The lyrics detail the singer's promise: not that he can necessarily love the subject, or be true to the subject, but only that he can try to do so.
In 1965, Nico released a version of the song for Immediate Records. Her version is stylistically reminiscent of the work of Marianne Faithfull. The single only garnered limited success.
Other artists who have recorded this song include Turley Richards and The Ian Campbell Folk Group.
