Everything Happens to Me

I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains

Try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains

Guess I'll go through life just catching colds and missing trains

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing, I've had the measles and the mumps

Every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps

Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before she jumps

Everything happens to me

At first, I thought that you could break this jinx for me

That love could turn the trick to end despair

But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me

Mortgaged all my castles in the air

I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail special, too

Your answer was "goodbye" and there was even postage due

Fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me

At first, I thought that you could break this jinx for me

That love would turn the trick to end despair

But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me

Mortgaged all my castles in the air

I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail special, too

Your answer was "goodbye" and there was even postage due

Fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me, poor me

Everything happens to me
