Chet Baker - But Not for Me

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, lackaday!

Although I can't dismiss

The memory of her kiss,

I guess she's not for me.

(Instrumental)
