#Scandal Music in “Boom Goes the Dynamite” – Betty LaVette’s soulful ”I’m Not The One” Played During Olitz’s Caldwell Moment

#Scandal Music in “Boom Goes the Dynamite”  - Betty LaVette’s soulful  ”I’m Not The One.” This is the song played during Olivia and Fitz’s “One Minute” look at the Caldwell fundraising gala.

Fitz finishes his speech. Olivia gets a call from someone. Olivia flirts with them on the phone; Fitz sees Olivia happy. (Scandal Music Lounge)

When’s the last time music played a key role in the unspoken words Olitz convey? #ClosetGate (Quick FYI: This isn’t the first time a Betty LaVette song played during a telling Olitz moment. Remember “We Can’t Always Get What We Want”? The Betty LaVette song played during that moment was “Crazy” and oh boy wasn’t #WhoShotFitz crazy?!)

We’re all still recovering from that amazing Stevie Wonder tune “I Don’t Know Why” played in “Nobody Likes Babies” and The Album Leaf instrumental “The Light” from “The Trail.”

Even Jeff Perry made a note of the “I’m Not The One” song lyrics during his #AskScandal tweets Thursday night. Betty LaVette’s “I’m Not The One” song lyrics made for a great Scandal moment did it not? It added so much to this scene. Here’s the song lyrics.

Listen while you read!

I’ve been tried

And I’ve been tested

I was born tired

And I still ain’t got rested

Harder than Marble stone

I’m better off

I’m better off left alone

Cause I’m not the one

I’m not the one

You wanted it all

But I ain’t gonna give you none

Cause, I’m not the one

Now you talk to me

Like I’m a kid

Cause when your daddy said jump

Your mama did

And you know, and your daddy knows

Your mama knows and I know

That’s wrong

So now it’s time

For you to move on

Cause I ain’t the one

I I ain’t the one

Now you wanted it all

But I ain’t gonna give you none

Cause, I’m not the one

I’m not the one

Now you thought

I was normal

All these years

I’m just trying to warn you

You’d do good

To move on

Cause it won’t hurt me honey

It ain’t gonna hurt me none

Cause I ain’t the one

I’m not the one

Now you wanted it all

But I ain’t gonna give you none

I ain’t the one

I’m not the one

I ain’t the one

You wanted it all

But I ain’t gonna give you none

Cause, I’m not the one

I’m not the one

I’m not the one

I’m not the one
