Alas! And also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss I guess he's not for me He's knocking on a door, but not for me He'll plan a 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 flame? I'm all at sea It all began so well...but what an end This is the time a fellow needs a friend When ev'ry happy plot Ends with a marriage knot And there's no knot for me |
