But Not For Me

Old man sunshine, listen, you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it, and I'll start a riot Oprah Winfrey don't you dare Ever tell me she will care I'm certain, it's the final curtain I never want to hear from any cheerful Polly-annas Who 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've found more skies of gray 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 her kiss I guess She's not for me It all began so well But what an end This is the time A fella needs a friend The climax of the plot Should be a marriage knot But there's No knot for me Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess She's not for me --- But Not for Me - Rod Stewart
