Dakota Staton - But Not For Me lyrics

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 Heigh ho, alas, and also lackaday 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 the moth or flame, I'm all at sea It all began so well, but what an end This is the time affair needs a friend When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot And thеre's no knot, no, not for me
