It Ain’t Me Babe – Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan’s song “It Ain’t Me Babe” was released in 1964 and was covered by Johnny Cash and June Carter within that same year. It’s generally agreed that the song was written about Dylan’s then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo, an artist who spent a lot of time in Italy. The song’s line “no, no, no” is said to be a parody of the Beatles song “She Loves You.”
