But Not For Me

They're writing songs of love

But not for me

A lucky star's above

But not for meWith love to lead the way

I've found more clouds of gray

Than any Russian play

Could guaranteeI 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 meIt all began so well

But what an end

This is the time

A fellow needs a friendWhen every happy plot

Ends with a the marriage knot

And there's

No knot for me
