but not for me

Singer: cooke, sam

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 grey

than any russian play could guarantee

i was a fool to fall and get that way

heigh ho

alas

and also lack-a-day

although i can't dismiss the memory of her kiss

i know she's not for me

it all began so well

but what an end

this is the time a feller needs a friend

although i can't dismiss the memory of her kiss

i'm so well aware she's not for me
