"That's Not Me" is a song by the American rock band The Beach Boys, the third track from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The song was composed and produced by Brian Wilson with lyrics written by Tony Asher. Asher has expressed dissatisfaction with the lyrics for the song, describing them as "labored", and that he had "missed the mark". In 1976, Brian stated, "I think That's Not Me reveals a lot about myself, just the idea that you're going to look at yourself and say, 'Hey, now look, that's not me, kind of square off with yourself and say, This is me, that's not me'."

Famous quotes containing the words that and/or not:
“It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a consequence. Only one answer: write carelessly so that nothing that is not green will survive.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“Today, supremely, it behooves us to remember that a nation shall be saved by the power that sleeps in its own bosom; or by none; shall be renewed in hope, in confidence, in strength by waters welling up from its own sweet, perennial springs. Not from above; not by patronage of its aristocrats. The flower does not bear the root, but the root the flower.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
