Everything Happens To Me (1999 Digital Remaster)

Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad
I must have roused the Devil's wrath
'Cause all my luck is bad

I make a date for golf
And you can bet you life it rains
I try to give a party
But the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life
Just catchin' colds and missin' planes
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
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 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"
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
