The song has 2 meanings.
Meaning 1: In Goldmine magazine, Mike Nesmith said, " The song itself is about the moment when the performer realizes that the songs he/she sings belong to the people - the fans and the crowds - that love the song, and the performer is only there in service to that relationship. 'It cannot be a part of me - for now it's part of you.'"
Meaning 2: According to the Monkees Collectible Page, Michael Nesmith said that he thought that it was funny that the song received airplay. Why? Well, there may be a double entendre here. To quote that page, " let's just say "It can not be a part of me... for now it's part of you" (and the two umm, orgasmic yells, especially at the end" ahhhhh! (Shhhh, I didn't go too far did I? Ok, wait... ever look at tapioca pudding?" Yes, and you can guess what Tundra refers to. Nesmith has a good sense of humor, so is this second meaning true or was he just having one of his many jokes? Who knows?

Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
Meaning 1: The silhouettes in the memory of the audience who watched the games stay close to what was actually played and the figures in the author's work that the world now owns as their own stay close to what the author intended, but he's still a bit saddened that his dream no longer belongs to him, but to the world.
Meaning 2: The silhouettes on the ceiling of the 2 figures making love stay close to what he said in his poems/songs, but the saddened romantic dream fades away as his semen which is now part of her leads to family, a different and better form of love.

Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease
Meaning 1: The first 2 verses in this song refer to things that no longer belong to the author or player, but now belong to the world. Now, the song is listing other things that belong to the world, like sunshine, ragtime (which was yesterday's music at the time this song was written), midnight stroll, etc. The author is standing more at ease now, knowing that it's okay that what he wrote belongs to the world instead of to him.
Meaning 2: The guy is enjoying life with his girl in the sunshine, listening to ragtime, taking a midnight stroll with her. Midnight looks right for love, now they're standing more at ease.

Careful plays on fields
That seems to vanish when they're in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoe.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
That seems to vanish when they're in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoe.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
Meaning 1: In a game, carefully thought out plays on fields disappear once they're in between games or innings. As the players walk away from the game in freshly worn out shoes, those plays now belong to the audience rather than the athlete.
Meaning 2: The field is her body, he's making love to her with his careful plays. Her body disappears between the sheets, and as he walks away, his semen is no longer a part of him, but it belongs to her.

Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues.
It cannot be a part of me,
For now it's part of you
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues.
It cannot be a part of me,
For now it's part of you
Meaning 1: 1st line refers to an author's poems, songs, etc. 2nd line is saying that the poems/songs lose their personal identity with the author over time (like if he wrote it to his girlfriend, that's lost over time, or if he felt he owned the characters/figures in the poem/song or sometimes even its original intention, all of this is lost over time). The 3rd line is saying that the song/poem itself is hoping, waiting for its spell to be cast on others. 4th line: who will then interpret the song through those "clouded clues" that it gives them, 5th & 6th line is saying that once the audience has had the spell cast on them and has interpreted the song/poem, then the author's work no longer belongs to the author, but to the audience.
Meaning 2: The 1st line refers to: In romance a guy writes his girl a poem, 2nd line these romantic gestures lose themselves as the relationship consummates, 3rd line explains that consummation, where he hopes to cast his silent spell on her through these romantic gestures 4th line via clouded clues 5th & 6th line they've had sex and his semen is no longer a part of him, but her.
