Everything Happens to Me Lyrics by John Pizzarelli with The George Shearing Quartet

The Rare Delight of You

2002

>
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 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
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
-[Instrumental Break]-
Well, 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
I've sent an 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
