But Not For Me lyrics
Song information
Artist: Billie Holiday Album: The Silver Collection
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 russain 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 mem'ry of his kiss, I guess he's not for me
He's knocking on a 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 a feller needs a friend When ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot And there's no knot for me
