But Not for Me - Terry Gibbs

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 the 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 of moth or flame I'm all at sea

It all began so well but what an end

This is that time a fellah needs a friend

When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot

And there's no knot 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'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

Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss

I guess he's not for me
