Billie Holiday - But Not For Me

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
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
