Gladys Knight - But Not For Me Lyrics

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 this way
Heigh, ho, alas and also lack a day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

He's knockin' on a door but not for me
He'll plan a two a little 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? I'm all, let's see

It all began so well, so well but what an end
This is the time that a lady needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot for me

There's nothing, not a, not one thing for me
It's a nil for the girl, no, no, not for me
Double zero there's nothing for me
There's nothing there for me
No, no, no, no, not for me
