Billie Holiday - Everything Happens To Me lyrics
[Billie Holiday - Everything Happens To Me lyrics]
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 your life it rains
I try to give a party
And the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go thru life just
Catchin colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measels and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who
Never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me
At first my heart tho't you could
Break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know 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 send an 'Airmail 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
