Everything Happens to Me Songtext
von Helen Merrill

I make a date for golf
You can bet your life it rains
I tried to give a party
The guy upstairs complains
Guess I′ll go through life
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 kind
Who never looks before she jumps
Everything happens to me

At first, I thought that you would break this jinx for me
That you would turn the trick to end despair
But, now I just can't fool this heart that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I′ve telephoned, I′ve called
Sent an air mail special too
Your answer was goodbye
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
It had to be with you
Everything happens to me
