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 this way
Ah ho alas and awe so lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she'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 every happy plot ends
with the marriage knot
and there's no knot for me
