It Never Entered My Mind

It Never Entered My Mind - Carmen McRae

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 have 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 the maiden's prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind

You have 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 the maiden's prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind
