Rod Stewart - But Not For Me Lyrics

Old man sunshine, listen you, never tell me dreams come true
Just try it, and I'll start a riot, Oprah Winfrey don't you dare
Ever tell me she will care, I'm certain, it's the final curtain

I never want to hear from any cheerful pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate, it's all bananas

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 skies 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

It all began so well but what an end
This is the time a fellow needs a friend
The climax of the plot should be a marriage knot
But there's no knot for me

Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not for me
