But Not For Me Lyrics - But Not For Me - Ahmad Jamal

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 

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 

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 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
