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
