Some Guys Have All The Luck
Derrick Harriott Lyrics

Some guys have all the luck
Some men are fortunate in love, life, and everything else.

Some guys have all the pain
Some men experience heartbreak, misery, and suffering despite their best efforts.

Some guys get all the breaks
Some men have good fortune and opportunities constantly presented to them.

Some guys do nothing but complain
Some men are always unhappy, envious, and dissatisfied with their lives.

Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming
The singer is lonely, surrounded by people, and tired after a long day's work.

The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
The singer is jealous of a man who has a partner while he is alone.

How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
The singer wonders what it would be like to be loved by someone who is near him.

Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me
The singer feels that it is unjust that love is all around him, but he cannot find it for himself.

Someone to take on a walk by the lake Lord, let it be me
The singer prays for a companion to share romantic experiences with.

Someone who's shy, someone who'd cry at sad movies
The singer desires someone who is vulnerable, emotional, and relatable.

I know I would die if I ever found out she was foolin' me
The singer is afraid of being deceived or betrayed by someone he loves.

You're just a dream, and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky
The singer acknowledges that his desires are just fantasies and that he is not fortunate in love.

All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
The singer observes that all of his friends are married or in relationships.

Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one
The singer laments that he does not have someone to love and who loves him back.

The car overheated, I called up and pleaded, there's help on the way
The singer experienced a car breakdown and requested assistance.

I called you collect, you didn't accept, you had nothing to say
The singer tried to contact someone he cares about, but they did not answer the phone.

But if you were here with me, I'd feel so happy, I could cry
The singer believes that being with someone he loves would bring him immense happiness and joy.

You are so dear to me, I just can't let you say goodbye
The singer declares his affection and attachment to the person he cares about.

Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
These lines are part of the song's chorus and represent a musical interlude.
