Everything Happens to Me
Life's Whimsical Symphony: Everything Happens to Me
Lyrics
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I plan to play golf, but it always rains.
Try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
When I try to host a party, the person above me complains.
Guess I'll go through life just catching colds and missing trains
It seems my life is filled with catching colds and missing trains.
Everything happens to me
Expressing a general feeling that everything goes wrong for me.
I never miss a thing, I've had the measles and the mumps
I experience every hardship; I've had various illnesses.
Every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps
Even when I have a winning card (ace), my partner always outdoes me.
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before she jumps
Admitting to being a fool who acts without thinking.
Everything happens to me
Reiterating that misfortune always seems to happen to me.
At first, I thought that you could break this jinx for me
Initially believed that love could break the pattern of misfortune.
That love could turn the trick to end despair
Hoping that love could bring an end to despair.
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
Realizing that love cannot deceive the rational mind.
Mortgaged all my castles in the air
All dreams and aspirations are now gone or compromised.
I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail special too
Attempted various ways to communicate, but received a goodbye with postage due.
Your answer was "goodbye" and there was even postage due
The response to my efforts was a final farewell with additional cost.
Fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you
Fell in love once, and it happened to be with the wrong person.
Everything happens to me
Reiterating that misfortune seems to be a constant in my life.
At first, I thought that you could break this jinx for me
Repeating the hope that love could break the cycle of misfortune.
That love would turn the trick to end despair
Believing that love could bring an end to despair.
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
Realizing that love cannot deceive the rational mind.
Mortgaged all my castles in the air
Reiterating the loss of dreams and aspirations.
I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail special too
Attempted various ways to communicate, but received a goodbye with postage due.
Your answer was "goodbye" and there was even postage due
The response to my efforts was a final farewell with additional cost.
Fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you
Fell in love once, and it happened to be with the wrong person.
Everything happens to me, for me
Emphasizing the theme that everything seems to go wrong in my life.
Everything happens to me
Concluding that misfortune is a constant companion.
