Lucky Lips
Cliff Richard & The Shadows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was just a little baby
I didn't have many toys
But my mama used to say, "Son
You got more than other boys
Now you may not be good looking
And you may not be too rich
But you'll never, ever be alone
'Cause you've got lucky lips"

Lucky lips are always kissin'
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or a good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms

Now, I never get heartbroken
No, I never get the blues
And if I play that game of love
I know I just can't lose
When they spin that wheel of fortune
All I do is kiss my chips
And I know I'm bound to win, yeah
'Cause I've got lucky lips

Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms

Oh, lucky lips are always kissing (oh, those lucky lips)
Lucky lips are never blue (oh, those lucky lips)
Lucky lips will always find (oh, those lucky lips)
A love that's true (oh, those lucky lips)
I don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm




With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms

In an recent interview this year, Cliff Richard confessed that he considered himself always as a recording
