Lyrics Everything Happens To Me - Amos Lee

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 through life
Just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me

I'll never miss a thing
I had the measles and the mumps
And when I will 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, I thought that you would break this jinx for me
That love would turn the tricks and end despair
Oh, 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
And sent an Air Mail Special, too
Your answer was goodbye
And there was even postage due

I fell in love just once
But then it had to be with you
Everything happens
To me
