Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky stars above
But not for me
[Verse 2]
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
[Verse 3]
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi-Ho alas
And also lack a day
[Verse 4]
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
[Verse 5]
It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time a fella needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends in a marriage knot
And there's no knot
I guess he's not for me
