Everything Happens to Me Lyrics by Barry Manilow

Night Songs II

2020

I make a date for golf
And 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 the 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 despair

But now, I just can't fool this head
That thinks for me
I've mortgagеd all my castles in the air

I telеgraphed and called
I 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

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 telegraphed and called
I 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, everything happens
Everything happens to me
