Billie Holiday - But Not For Me Lyrics

Lyrics But Not For Me - 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 Russian 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 not 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 fella needs a friend
When ev'ry happy plot
Ends with the marriage knot
And there's no knot for me



Writer(s): Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin
