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 Russian 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 memory of her kiss,
I guess she's not for me.

It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time a feller needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends in a marriage knot
And there's no knot, no knot for me 

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