George Gershwin - But Not For Me lyrics

rate me

ld 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 she will care,

I'm certain, It's the final cutain.

I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas

Who tell me 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 found more clouds of grey,

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 her kiss,

I guess she's not for me.

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 for me.
