Sam Cooke - 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 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
