Billie Holiday - But Not for Me lyrics
[Billie Holiday - But Not for Me lyrics]
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 grey
Than any Russain 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
Mem'ry 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
A lucky star's above, but not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
Than any Russain 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
Mem'ry 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
