Frank Sinatra - Trilogy: Past, Present & Future

But Not For Me

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 can guarantee

I was a fool to fall
And get this way
Hi ho, alas and also lackaday

Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she's not, she's not for me

Old 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 curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Polly-Anna's
Who tell you "Fate supplies a mate"
It's all bananas

It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fella needs a friend

When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot
No, not for me
