But Not for Me

[BILLIE]
Old Man Sunshine, listen, you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it
I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain
It's the final curtain

I never want to hear
From any cheerful Pollyannas
Who'll tell you 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 his kiss
I guess he's 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 started off so swell
This "let's pretend"
It all began so well
But what an end

The climax of the plot
Should be the marriage knot
But there's no knot for me
