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 Russian 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 memory of her kiss

I know she's not for me

It all began so well, but what an end

This is the time a feller needs a friend

Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss

I'm so well aware she's not for me
