But Not For Me Lyrics - Billie Holiday

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 mot 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.
