Everything Happens To Me

(álbum: Julie... At Home - 1960)

I make a date for gown
And you can bet your life it rains
I tried to give a party
And the guy upstairs complains
I 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
And everytime I play an ace
My partner always trumps
I 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 you could turn the trick to end despair
But I can't fool this foolish head that thinks for me
So I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I've telegraphed, I phoned
Sent an air mail special too
Your answer was goodbye
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
Everything happens to me
