Everything Happens to Me

Everything Happens to Me - Neil Sedaka

I make a date for gown

You can bet your life it rains

Tried to give a party

But 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

And every time I play an ace

My partner always trumps

Guess I'm just a fool

Who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me

At first I thought that you

Would break this jinx for me

And love would turn the trick to end despair

But Now I just can't fool this head

That thinks for me

I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I've telegraphed and phoned

Sent an air mail special too

Your answer was goodbye

There was even postage due

Fell in love just once

And it had to be with you

Everything happens to me

I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

Well I've telegraphed and phoned

Sent an air mail special too

Your answer was goodbye

There was even postage due

Fell in love just once

And it had to be with you

Everything happens to me
