But Not for Me

by Linda Ronstadt

Lyrics
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 Pollyanna's
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
