George Gershwin
But Not For Me
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 found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to go and get that way
Hi-ho, alas! And also, lakc-a-day!
But still I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
He's knocking on the door, but not for me
He'll plan a two by four, but not for me
I heard that loves a game
I'm puzzled just the same
Was I the moth or flame
I'm all at sea
It all began too well, but what an end
This is the time a fella needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
But thеre's no knot for me
