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, lackaday

Although I can't dismiss

The memory of her kiss

I guess she's not for me

It all began so well

But what an end

This is the time

A fella needs a friend

When every happy plot

Ends with a marriage knot

And there's no knot for me
