Get Lucky
Diesel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the money don't come through
I don't need you to hit the city
And take your love with you
Baby, baby
You walk now it's a crime
All I need is a way to get lucky
We'll see better times
I don't need to see those dishes
Smashed across the floor
I don't need to see your suitcase
Packed up by the door
All I need is time
And half a chance
To get myself and you up from the slime
And half a chance is all it takes
To get us both a break
And make you happy to be mine
All I need is time
Everything I give to you
Never is enough
You take your love
You're out of here
When the going gets too tough
I can't believe you'd do this
After all I've done for you
But I guess I was wrong
You're as tough as leather
You wanna run for cover
Now we're in for nasty weather
The song "Get Lucky" by Diesel is all about struggles in a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disappointment with a partner who has not acted in a way to support the relationship through hard times. The first stanza of the song speaks to the negative reactions from the partner when money is tight, as well as the partner's tendency to βtake their love and hit the cityβ instead of staying and working through tough times. The songβs narrator expresses their frustration with this behavior, making it clear that they do not need that kind of behavior from their partner.
In the second verse, the song's narrator makes it known they are aware of the partner's tendency to leave when things get tough, as demonstrated by the line "I don't need to see your suitcase packed up by the door." They express their belief that with the right opportunity, they and their partner could improve their lives together with lines like "And half a chance is all it takes to get us both a break," and "All I need is time and half a chance to get myself and you up from the slime." The chorus repeats the plea for good fortune, with the repeated line "All I need is a way to get lucky, we'll see better times." The final line of the song, "Now we're in for nasty weather," expresses the idea that the struggles the couple is facing are only going to get worse until they can find a way to work together to overcome them.

I don't need you to call me sucker
I do not require you to insult me when I experience financial difficulties
When the money don't come through
When I am broke
I don't need you to hit the city
I do not want you to go out and leave me alone
And take your love with you Baby, baby
And abandon our relationship, my dear, dear love
You walk now it's a crime
If you decide to leave me now, it would be a terrible mistake
All I need is a way to get lucky
I just need some good fortune to come my way
We'll see better times
We will eventually experience good times
I don't need to see those dishes
I do not want to witness any more of our fights
Smashed across the floor
Culminating in breaking dishes and creating a mess on the floor
I don't need to see your suitcase
I do not want to see your luggage packed and ready to go
Packed up by the door
Ready to leave right away
All I need is time
I just need some more time
And half a chance
And a small opportunity
To get myself and you up from the slime
To lift us both out of difficult situations
And half a chance is all it takes
Sometimes just a small window of opportunity is enough
To get us both a break
To help us both catch a lucky break
And make you happy to be mine all I need is time
And give you a reason to be content with our relationship, I just need some more time
Everything I give to you
All the love and effort I invest in our relationship
Never is enough
It seems like it is never satisfactory or adequate for you
You take your love
You choose to leave our relationship behind
You're out of here When the going gets too tough
You're leaving as soon as things become too difficult
I can't believe you'd do this
I cannot fathom the fact that you would abandon us
After all I've done for you
Despite all the sacrifices and love I have shown you
But I guess I was wrong
I no longer seem to understand you
You're as tough as leather
You have grown unyielding and unapproachable
You wanna run for cover
You wish to escape this relationship
Now we're in for nasty weather
Our future together looks bleak and stormy
