Everything Happens To Me — Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): dennis/adair

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 Ill go thru life;

Just catchin colds and missin trains,

Evrything happens to me.

I never miss a thing -

Ive had measles and the mumps.

And evry time I play my ace -

My partner always trumps.

I guess Im just a fool;

Who never looks before he jumps,

Evrything happens to me.

At first my heart thot;

You could break this jinx for me.

That love would turn the trick;

To end my despair.

But now, I just cant fool;

This head that thinks for me.

Ive mortgaged all my castles in the air.

Ive 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,

Evrything happens to me.
