Count Me Out might refer to:
"Count Me Out" is a song released as a single by R&B/pop group New Edition from their All for Love album, released in September 1985 on the MCA label.
Much like the group's earliest single, "Cool It Now", again, lead singer Ralph Tresvant is warned by his friends (co-members Bobby Brown, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins) to not fall for a girl after he told them to "count him out" of any activities that they had planned to do much to his friends' dismay.
The song's music video was notable for Brown's absence as he had broken from the group around the time of the video. Only Tresvant, DeVoe, Bell and Bivins were in the video and parts of the song that belonged to Brown sung by Bell. Despite a modest showing at number fifty-one on the pop singles chart, the song reached number two on the Billboard R&B singles chart.
Count Me Out was an American straight edge hardcore punk band formed in 1997 in Richmond, Virginia. They released one album on Ambassador Records and two on Indecision Records. The band toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe. The first two albums, Few and Far Between (1999) and 110 (2000), were a direct descendant of the youth crew subgenre hardcore reminiscent of early Revelation Records releases, with a sound somewhere between Chain of Strength and Turning Point. The third album Permanent (2002) was darker and more brooding. The band broke up in early 2003, after touring Europe.
I've turned my back*
On the lies of my youth
I've had enough
I couldn't go on like that
Alone again
I thought you were my friend
I found a way to ascend
And left it all behind
Count me out
All the foolish games you fuckin played
Count me out
No fuckin' regrets
I won't be led blind
Like IL was before
I won't give you my trust anymore
Alone again
I thought you were my friend
You never gave a true fuck
You never cared
[Chorus:]
Faces came and went but really few knew
What it really meant
They played the part oh so perfectly
But never were true
Faces came and went but really few knew
What it really meant
I thought you'd be there
I thought that you cared
But realized you were fake
Count me out - I thought you were my friend
Count me out - you fuckin fake
