But Not for Me Full Lyrics

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 mem'ry of his kiss I guess he's not for me He's knocking on a door, but not for me He'll plan 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 ev'ry happy plot Ends with the marriage knot And there's no knot for me
