Linda Ronstadt
"But Not For Me" lyrics

But Not For Me

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
I guess he's not for me
