Richard Rodgers
It Never Entered My Mind
(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 mudpack on my face
Oh, who'd have thought that I'd walk in a daze now?
I never go to shows at night, just to matinees now
I see the show
And home I go

(Chorus)
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

Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing
Solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
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 say the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
