But Not For Me Lyrics by Jackie Cain, Roy Kral

By Jupiter & Girl Crazy

[Intro: Jackie Cain]
Old Man Sunshine, listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it
And 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 tell you fate supplies a mate
It’s all bananas
[Verse 1: Jackie Cain]
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
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Heigh-ho, alas! and al-
So, lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
[Verse 2: Jackie Cain]
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
What an end
This is the time a lady
Needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
And there’s no knot for me
[Outro: Jackie Cain]
Oh, there's no knot for me
I guess he's not for me
He's not for me
He’s not for me, he's not for me, he's not for me, he's not for me
He's not for me
He's not for me
