But Not for Me

They're writing songs of love, but not for me, not for me

A lucky star's above, oh, but not for me

With love to lead the way

I've found more clouds of gray

Oh, than any Russian play could guarantee

And, oh, I was a fool, I was a fool to fall

And get that way, get that way

Heigh-ho, alas, oh, and also lackaday

Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss

I know, I know, I know, I know she's not for me

Oh, it all began, it all began so well

But what an end, what an end

This is the time a fella, oh, a fella needs a friend

Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss

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