But Not for Me Songtext
von Linda Ronstadt & The Nelson Riddle Orchestra

Old man, sunshine, listen
You never tell me, dreams come true
Just try it and I′ll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax, don't you dare ever tell me, he will care
I′m certain, it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyanna's
Who tell you, fate supplies a mate
It′s all bananas


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 lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess, he′s not for me

I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess, he′s not for me
