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 Davis Jr. But Not For Me Comments
Sammy the multi-talented entertainer of all time as well as an actor.
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.
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.
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.
I REMEMBER this song!! We had a 45 rpm record of this song sanged by Mr. Sammie Davis, Jr.!!
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.
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.
