Sammy Davis Jr. - 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 found more clouds are gray
Than any rainy day, could guarantee

I was a fool to fall, and get that way
I should have known the price, I'd have to pay
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess that gal is not for me

    Sammy the multi-talented entertainer of all time as well as an actor.

  2. B.... ....

    Magnificent.

    Sammy 1 of Kind Performer!

    It's true Bobby Darin wrote it and record it first but Sammy Davis Jr KILLED IT with a voice that can't be beat or compare to young singers today.

    S.... G....

    Well, to be honest, it's a bit of a rip off of Gershwin's "But Not For Me", a kind of 1960's take on it.

  5. r.... ....

    I had this album but lost it & many others when the basement flooded - this was the coolest song on that album - I 'm  66 & remember it well - Admiral King HS Lorain,Ohio '67

    Found out Bobby Darin wrote or co-wrote it and recorded it too.  His version is cool but Sammy's is so unique.  Not sure if this was a hit for Bobby Darin.

  7. m.... ....

    I REMEMBER this song!!  We had a 45 rpm record of this song sanged by Mr. Sammie Davis, Jr.!! 

  8. M.... M....

    I remember this from 1964. Last time I heard it on the radio is when I played in in 1976. I don't know why it was not a bigger record.

  9. R.... S....

    What a great all round production.
    I bought this when it was originally released and fully expected it to be a worldwide hit, instead it sank like a stone. How come?

    Thanks.
