Nah!
Shania Twain · Up!
in case you didn't already know
I'll never forget how you got up and left
In fact it was downright pretty low
There ain't no way I wanna,
you know I ain't gonna
Take you back, so don't even try
You can beg, you can plead--
you can sweat, you can bleed
Too bad I could care if you cry
That's it! (That's all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
but now I'm past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
but would I do it all again--Nah--
[Chorus:]
You won't find me
Naked and cold justa sittin'
on the doctor's table
Witin' to be told justa why
I'm no longer able
To feel my heart beatin'--
give me a good reason why!
I kinda went numb just around
about the time you told me
You were movin' on, and you
said that you were gonna phone me
It's been so long, and there
ain't nothin' wrong with the line
It's too late to regret it,
but you're the one who said it
We're better off being apart
I hate to be a downer,
but don't bother comin' 'round here
'Cause I won't have a change of heart
That's it! (That's all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
but now I'm past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
but would I do it again--Nah--
[Repeat Chorus]
Nah...
Well, I hope you learned a lesson,
'cause you'll never be messin'
With my head again the way that you did
It was never gonna work; you were
too much of a jerk
I'm finally fed up with it
That's it! (That's all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
but now I'm past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
but would I do it all again--Nah--
[Repeat Chorus]
Nah...
Nah!
Shania Twain's 'Nah!' stands as a defining track from her 1997 album 'Up!', marking a pivotal shift in her musical direction. While earlier works like 'Come On Over' blended country and pop, this recording fully embraces a polished pop-rock sound, featuring prominent electric guitars and a driving rhythm section. The song serves as a spirited anthem of independence and self-assertion, reflecting Twain's evolving persona as she moved away from her signature country roots into broader mainstream pop territory. Released during a period of significant artistic experimentation, the track showcases her vocal versatility and solidified her status as a global pop icon, influencing countless artists who followed in the mid-to-late 1990s.
