In the verses, the narrator questions whether this person ever feels guilt for their actions and emphasizes the lack of communication and connection in the relationship by mentioning the lack of reception and how they're breaking up. The narrator also mentions that they want to believe this person, but they don't.
The chorus reinforces the idea that this person is lucky, but the narrator wonders if they ever truly loved them or if they were just too numb to feel anything. The repeated line of "I knew it all along" in the outro suggests that the narrator had a sense of the truth throughout the relationship, possibly indicating a lack of trust and a feeling of being used.
Overall, "Lucky" portrays a one-sided and manipulative relationship where the narrator questions the sincerity of the other person's feelings and highlights their own sense of awareness and disappointment.

Baby, you so lu-lu-lu-lucky
You get away with it all, oh
Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky
And even though you g-g-g-got me
You still want it all
So, can I ask you a question?
Call you, you got no reception
You're breaking up
Tell you I believe you, but I don't
Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky
Baby, you so lu-lu-lu-lucky
You get away with it all
Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky
And even though you g-g-g-got me
You still want it all
So, can I ask you a question?
Do you ever feel guilt for what you've done?
Call you, you got no reception
You're breaking up
Tell you I believe you, but I don't
Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky
But did you ever l-l-l-love me?
You're just way too numb (numb)
Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky
No you never l-l-l-loved me
And I am all alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
The lyrics to Charli XCX's song "Lucky" explore themes of luck, manipulation, and deceit within a romantic relationship. The repeated phrase "Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky" suggests that the subject of the song has been able to get away with their actions, seemingly unaffected by the consequences. The line "And even though you g-g-g-got me, you still want it all" implies that the subject has managed to charm or manipulate the singer, despite their misdeeds.
The singer questions the subject's feelings of guilt, asking if they ever feel remorse for what they have done. The line "Call you, you got no reception, you're breaking up" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the subject's emotional unavailability or the difficulty the singer has in communicating with them. The singer expresses their skepticism, admitting that they don't truly believe in the subject's innocence or sincerity.
The second verse of the song continues in a similar vein, with the singer questioning the depth of the subject's feelings. The line "Baby, you're so lu-lu-lu-lucky, but did you ever l-l-l-love me?" suggests that the singer may have doubted the authenticity of the subject's love from the beginning. The repeated phrase "All alone" at the end of the song highlights the singer's sense of isolation and loneliness, perhaps realizing that they have been deceived and left on their own.
Overall, "Lucky" portrays a complex and somewhat toxic relationship where one person seemingly has all the luck and the ability to manipulate, while the other is left feeling alone and questioning the authenticity of the love they were given.
