But Not For Me — текст песни (Linda Ronstadt)

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
