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 grey

Than any Russain play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way;

Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day!

Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss

I guess he's mot for me

He's knocking on a 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 a feller needs a friend

When ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot

And there's no knot for me
