But Not For Me

They're writing songs of love

But not for me

A lucky star's above

But not for me

With love to lead the way

I've found more clouds of gray

Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way

Heigh ho, alas, and also lackaday

Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss

I guess he's not for me

He's knocking on the door, but not for me

He'll plan a two by four, but not for me

I know that love's a game, I'm puzzled just the same

Was I the moth or flame, I'm all at sea

It all began so well, but what an end

This is the time affair needs a friend

When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot

And there's no knot, no, not for me
