Winning
5 Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep your fingers crossed and knock on wood
When things are going this good
Don't let the luck get lost, For all it takes,
It's a special thing
It's a good game
Once you find out how to play
Things can finally go your way
We're winning
Set our sights, it's just beginning
To turn out right
We're winning
Look what's happening
We're winning
We're winning
We're winning

I've got a rabbit's foot, a good lucky charm
To keep away all harm
Watch out for this and that
Try not to step upon a pavement crack
And keep our mirrors intact
It's a good game
Once you find out how to play
Things can finally go your way

We're winning
Every day the luck's beginning
To go our way
We're winning
Anyone can see we're winning

Ooh, I'm not superstitious
But all these things I do
'Cause (unintelligible) this is
It's too good to be true

We're winning
We're winning
It's a good game
Once you find out how to play
Things can finally go your way

We're winning
Set our sights, it's just beginning
To turn out right
We're winning
Look what's happening
We're winning

We're winning
Set our sights, it's just beginning
To turn out right
We're winning




Look what's happening
We're winning
