But Not For Me

Lyrics for But Not For Me

Old man sunshine, listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it, and I'll start a riot Miss outlanders, don't you dare Ever tell me he will care I'm certain it's the final curtain I never ever want to hear from any cheerful Polly Annas Who tell you fate supplies a mate That'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 skies of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get this way Hi-hi, ho-ho, alas, lackaday Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not, not for me Knocking on the door, but not for me He'll build a two by four, but not for me And though the love love's a game I'm puzzled just the same Was I the moth that flamed? I'm all at sea It all began so well, ooh, what an end This is the time when a fella needs a friend When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot And there's no knot for me I love him so, but love's gotta go It's plain to see he's not for me
