Letra:

 

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 also Lack a day! 

Although I can’t dismiss, 

The memory of her kiss, 

I guess she’s not for me.
