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 found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play Could guarantee I was a fool to fall And get that way Hi-ho, alas! And also, lack-a-day But still I can't dismiss The memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me He's knocking on a door But not for me He'll plan a two by four But not for me I've heard that love's a game I 'm puzzled just the same Was I the moth, the flame I'm all at sea It all began so well But what an end This is the time a fella needs a friend When every happy plot Ends with the marriage knot And there's no knot for me
