Ballads are being sung    But not for me    Church bells are being rung    But not for me   I am without love    But I don't doubt love can be    Warm and tender for some    But not for me   Poems are being read    But not for me    Prayers are being said    But not for me   I've never known love    Or been shown love, you see    And maybe there is such a thing    But not for me   So let all of your singers sing    But not for me    And let all of your church bells ring    But not for me   And if tomorrow    All your sorrows should be    Just like mine then you cry    But not for me    No, not me    Never for me
