But Not For Me

by Ella Fitzgerald

on Ella Fitzgerald Sings The George And Ira Gershwin Song Book (1959), Ella Sings Gershwin (1950)

They're writing songs of love,
But not for me
A lucky stars above,
But not for me!

With love to lead the way,
I've found more clouds of gra-ay
Than any Russian play
Coud garauntee

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
