Lucky Guy
David Choi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That makes me feel this way
Makes me smile, and that's hard to do
I don't think it's something you realize you do
You make me feel
Like I'm the only guy
With you in the world
But we can't be together
Can't really be friends
We can't be lovers
And we can't pretend
Oh that boy in your life
Better make you his wife
And he better believe he's a lucky guy
You wanted a song well here's one for you
Nobody will know except for us two
Don't ask me about it
Cuz I won't tell the truth
Just know that there's someone
Thinking of you
You make me feel
Something I wish wasn't real at all
Chorus
You were never mine to begin with...
So we can't be together
Can't really be friends
We can't be lovers
And we can't pretend
Oh that boy in your life
Better make you his wife
And he better believe he's a lucky guy
The lyrics of David Choi's song "Lucky Guy" are about unrequited love, and the feeling of being in a hopeless situation where you know you can't be with the person you love. In the opening lines, the singer expresses how long it has been since he has met someone who makes him feel happy and gives him butterflies. It's clear that the person he's talking about is special and unique to him. He emphasizes that this person's effect on him is not something that can be easily recognized because it's so profound and difficult to put into words.
The second verse expands on the impossible nature of their relationship. They can't be together, they can't be friends, and they can't pretend because it would only lead to heartache for both of them. The only option left is for her to be with the boy in her life who is lucky to have her. The singer then dedicates a song to her that nobody else will know about as their feelings for each other are hidden. He acknowledges the fact that there's nothing he can do about his unrequited love, but the love he feels for her is intense and real.
Overall, the song is bittersweet, as it conveys a mixture of joy and sadness. The singer is happy when they're together, but sad because they can't be together. The person he loves, unfortunately, is not his to begin with, so his feelings will never be fully realized.

I have to give prop to Teo, his acting is what really conveyed the heart of this song. Kudos to this young man, with an Italian accent.

You may not be a lucky guy in that ONE situation. But in all situations. You're a great guy. I love your music.
