It Never Entered My Mind - Helen Merrill

Once I laughed when I heard you saying

That I’d be playing solitaire

Uneasy in my easy chair

It never entered my mind

And once you told me I was mistaken

That I’d awaken with the sun

And ordered orange juice for one

It never entered my mind

You had what I lack, myself

Now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I’d say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind

Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I’d say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind
