But Not For Me 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 Russain 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 feller needs a friend,
when ev`ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
and there`s no knot for me.
