Once I laughed when I heard you saying That I'd be playing solitaire Uneasy in my easy chair It never entered my mind Once you told me I was mistaken That I'd awaken with the sun And order orange juice for one It never entered my mind You heard what I lack myself And now I even have to scratch My back myself Once you warned me that if you score me I'd sing the maiden's prayer again And wish that you were there again It never entered my mind.
