Linda Ronstadt But Not for Me 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 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
