But Not for Me Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
Old man sunshine, listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it, and I'll start a riot
Verse 2
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain, it's the final curtain
Verse 3
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tells you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
Verse 4
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 skies of gray
Than any Russian play, could guarantee
Verse 5
I was a fool to fall, and get that way
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
Verse 6
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
