Ketty Lester - But Not For Me lyrics

rate me

They're writing songs of love, but not for me.<br />

A lucky star's above, but not for me.<br />

With love to lead the way, I've seen more clouds of gray<br />

Than any Russian play could guarantee.<br />

I was a fool to fall and get that way.<br />

Heigh ho, alas, and also lackaday.<br />

Although I can't dismiss, the memory of her kiss.<br />

I guess she's not for me.<br />

<br />

She's knocking on the door, but not for me.<br />

She'll plan a two by four, but not for me.<br />

I know that love's a game, I'm puzzled just the same.<br />

Was I the moth or flame, I'm all at sea.<br />

It all began so well, but what an end.<br />

This is the time a feller needs a friend.<br />

When every happy plot ends with the marriage knot<br />

And there's no knot for me.
