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.
|
|
I was a fool to fall
|
And get that way
|
Heigh ho alas and
|
Also lackaday.
|
|
Although I can't dismiss
|
The memory of his kiss
|
I guess he's not for me.
|
|
I know that love's a game
|
I'm puzzled all the same
|
Was I the moth or flame
|
I'm all at sea.
|
|
It all began so well
|
But what an end.
|
This time a gal could sure
|
Use a friend
|
|
When every happy plot
|
Ends in a marriage knot
|
And there's no knot for me.
