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 Hi, ho, alas and also lack-a-day Although 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'd planned 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 fella needs a friend When every happy plot ends with the marriage knot And there's no knot for me
