Natalie Merchant - But 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’ll have more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh-ho, a-las, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

I know that love's a game
I'm puzzled just the same
Was i the moth or the flame?
I'm all at sea

It all began so well, but what an end
This time a gal could sure use a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot for me
