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
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day!
Although I can't dismiss
The memory 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 feller needs a friend,
when ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
and there's no knot for me.
