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
F#m7
A Bm7 Bm7/5- E7 Bm7/5- E7
Than any Russian play could guar - an - tee.
A D Dm7 A
I was a fool to fall and get that way;
B7 E7 A
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also lack-a-day!

Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of her kiss,
Bm7/5- E7 A
I guess she's not for me.

She's knocking on a door, but not for me;
B7 E7 D A
She'll plan a two by four, but not for me.
A7 D Bm7

I know that love's a game; I'm puzzled, just the same-

Was I a moth or flame? I'm all at sea.

It all began so well...but what an end!

This is the time a fellow needs a friend.

When ev'ry happy plot ends with a marriage knot
Bm7/5- E7 A
And there's no not for me.
