I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
Try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
Guess I'll go through life just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing, I've had the measles and the mumps
Every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before she jumps
Everything happens to me
At first, I thought that you could break this jinx for me
That love could turn the trick to end despair
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
Mortgaged all my castles in the air
I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail special too
Your answer was: Goodbye, and there was even postage due
Fell in love just once and then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
At first, I thought that 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
Mortgaged all my castles in the air
I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail special too
Your answer was: Goodbye, and there was even postage due
Fell in love just once and then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me, for me
Everything happens to me
