But Not for Me

But Not for Me - Mary Martin/Eddie Duchin/Allan Jones/Mantovani

Old man sunshine listen you

Never tell me dreams come true

Just try it and I'll start a riot

Beatrice fairfax don't you dare

Ever tell me he will care

I'm certain it's the final curtain

I never want to hear

From any cheerful pollyannas

Who tell you fate supplies a mate

It's all bananas

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

But not for me

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 fella needs a friend

When every happy plot

Ends with a marriage knot

And there's no knot for me

I guess he's not for me
