Not the one for me

A smooth early-90s R&B beat at about 94 BPM, laid-back with a light swing, built on soft MPC-style drums—warm kick on 1 and 3, clean rim/snare on 2 and 4, subtle hi-hats with humanized bounce. The bass is a warm analog or electric bass that glides between notes and sits deep in the pocket. Rhodes electric piano carries jazzy major-7 and minor-9 chords, with a gentle pad swelling in during the chorus. Clean electric guitar adds slow, emotional licks between vocal lines. Overall vibe: late-night, classy, honest, and grown—emotional but calm, letting the vocals lead. 🎶

Not the One for Me”
Verse 1
Girl, you’re beautiful, I won’t deny
Got that soft way you look in my eyes
And I see the effort, yeah I see the care
But my heart don’t move the same way yours does there
You call me late just to hear my voice
Saying maybe love don’t need a choice
I wish it was easy, wish it was true
But I’d be lying if I said it was you
Pre-Chorus
I don’t wanna play with your emotions
Don’t wanna sell you dreams I can’t defend
So I gotta say this slow and gentle
Before it hurts you in the end
Chorus
You’re not the one for me, girl
And I hate the way it sounds
But I respect you way too much
To keep stringing you around
You deserve a love that’s sure
A heart that’s all the way in
I’m just being honest with you
Even though it hurts to say it, yeah
Verse 2
You do everything a good girl do
Stay down, stay real, always true
Any man would be lucky, that’s facts
Just wish my feelings could match all that
You asking what you did wrong
Baby, you ain’t done nothing at all
Sometimes love just don’t connect
And that’s the hardest truth to accept
Pre-Chorus
If I stay, I’d be selfish
If I leave, at least I’m real
I won’t make you love me lonely
I won’t make you beg to feel
Chorus
You’re not the one for me, girl
And I hate the way it sounds
But I respect you way too much
To keep stringing you around
You deserve a love that’s sure
A heart that’s all the way in
I’m just being honest with you
Even though it hurts to say it, yeah
Bridge
One day you’ll be somebody’s everything
He’ll love you loud, won’t hesitate
And when that day comes, you’ll understand
Why I couldn’t be your man
Outro
So take this truth with grace
It’s coming from a genuine place
You’re amazing, just not mine
And I hope someday… you’ll be just fine
