VERSE

I don't care if there's powder on my nose.
I don't care if my hairdo is in place.
I've lost the very meaning of repose.
I never put a mud pack on my face.
Oh, who'd have thought
That I'd walk in a daze now?
I never go to shows at night,
But just to matinees now.
I see the show
And home I go.

REFRAIN 1

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 have what I lack myself,
And now I even have to scratch my back myself.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again.
It never entered my mind.

REFRAIN 2

Once you said in your funny lingo
I'd sit at bingo day and night
And never get the numbers right.
It never entered my mind.
Once you told me I'd stay up Sunday
To read the Monday-morning dirt
And find you're merging with some skirt.
It never entered my mind.
Life is not so sweet alone.
The man who came to dinner lets me eat alone.
I confess it — I didn't guess it,
That I would sit and mope again,
And all the while I'd hope again
To see my darling dope again.
It never entered my mind!
