It Never Entered My Mind

(album: It's All Over But The Swingin' - 1957)

Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind

Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one
It never entered my mind

You had what I lack myself
And now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

Now there is no one to phone
The man who came to dinner has to dine alone

And once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
