But Not For Me

But Not for Me - Ella Fitzgerald/Ellis Larkins

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 that way

Hi ho alas and also lack a day

Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss

I guess he's not for me

It all began so well but what an end

This is the time a fellah needs a friend

When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot

And there's no knot

I guess he's not for me
