- But Not For Me LyricsThey'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 grey
than any Russian play could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall and get that way;
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day!
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss,
I guess she's not for me.
A lucky star's above, but not for me.
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
than any Russian play could guarantee.
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day!
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss,
I guess she's not for me.

When we try to interpret the meaning, Chet Baker's song 'But Not for Me' is a perfect example of unfulfilled desire and one-sided love. It is as if the singer is saying that he is a stranger to the happiness and love that others come by so easily. The metaphors used are the 'songs of love' versus the individual's pain and suffering of being rejected and feeling alone. But not for me lyrics are mainly focusing on the sad aspects of love like heartbreak, reflection, despair, angst, and solitude. The song, however, also brings out the hidden side of love which is disappointment and longing. The lyrics talk about unrequited love and nostalgia through a clean way, devoid of any profanity, violence, or adult content. The whole approach is so innocent that the language is appropriate for children and thus can be enjoyed by the general public.
