But Not for Me Songtext

But Not for Me Songtext
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
He′s knocking on a door, but not for me
He′d planned 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 every happy plot ends with the marriage knot
And there′s no knot 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
He′s knocking on a door, but not for me
He′d planned 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 every happy plot ends with the marriage knot
And there′s no knot for me
