but not for me - george gershwin lyrics

(verse)
old man sunshine, listen you
don’t you 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 wanna hear
from any cheerful pollyannas
who tell you fate supplies a mate
it’s all bananas

(chorus 1)
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 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 al-
so, lack-a-day

but still i can’t dismiss
the memory of his kiss
i guess he’s not for me

(chorus 2)
he’s knocking on a door
but not for me
he’ll plan a two by four
but not for me

i’ve heard that love’s a game
i’m puzzled just the same
was i the moth or flame
i’m all at sea

it started off so swell
this “let’s pretend”
it all began so well
but what an end

the climax of a plot
should be a marriage knot
but there’s no knot for me
