Worst Luck
6LACK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You tell me get away but you don't mean that
You tell me leave you alone but you don't need that
On my own two honey I don't need you
Look at how I've grown
I'm a big girl I can do it by myself all on my own

So why you wanna love me so bad
Why you wanna love me so bad
Haven't you heard about my miserable past
Critical past
Pitiful past
I swear no matter what I touch it breaks
So I no longer wanna see your face

I got the worst luck with love
Worst luck with love
Maybe I ain't working enough
Hurting enough
I swear I got the worst luck with love
The worst luck with love
Maybe I ain't working enough
Ain't hurting enough
No no

Why

I tell you let it go but you don't want to
I ask you what the fuck you want you say I want you
Are you crazy you could have it all
Why settle for me
You're doing good you should keep going
Don't back pedal for me

So why you wanna love me so bad
Why you wanna love me so bad
Haven't you heard about my miserable past
Critical past
Pitiful past
I swear no matter what I touch it breaks
So I no longer wanna see your face

I got the worst luck with love
Worst luck with love
But maybe I ain't working enough
Hurting enough
I swear I got the worst luck with love
The worst luck with love
Maybe I ain't working enough




Ain't hurting enough
No no, no no
