Текст пісні
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 and alas, and oh so lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his sweet kiss
I know it's not, no, he's not for me
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 Broadway play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho and alas, and oh so lack-a-day
Though I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
Oh, I guess he's not for me
He's knock, knock, knock, knocking on the door, but not for me
He'll plan a two-by-four, but not for me
I know that love's a game
I'm puzzled just the same
Was I the moth or the flame? A moth, let's see
It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time when a woman needs a friend
(Etta, you are my friend)
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot for me
There's no knot for me
There's no knot for me
The man is not
No, he's not
The man is not
No, he's not
The man is not for me
Marriage is not for me
Not for me, either
Not for me
He's not for me
The man is not for me
Oh, the man is not for me
No, he's not for me
He's gotta go
Oh, there's no marriage knot
Oh, there's no marriage knot
There'll never be a marriage
Oh, girl
That's so sad
You know he was a tall, long drink of water
Oh, he was a headache
Woo, you know I love that man, you know?
