Lyrics Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole

Everything Happens To Me

I make a date for golf, you can bet you life it rains

I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains

I guess, I'll go through life just catchin' colds and missin' trains

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing, I've had measles and the mumps

And every time I play my ace, my partner always trumps

I guess, I'm just a fool, who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me

At first, my heart thought, you could break this jinx for me

That love would turn the trick to end my 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 called, I sent, air mail special too

You 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
