Bad Luck
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a cry from the street
In the dead of night
A cold empty feeling
Losing the fight
You give till it hurts
You don't know why
In the name of love
You kiss your heart goodbye
All my life
I've been waiting for this time to come
It's been a long hard fight
'Cause my heart's been under the gun
I've had bad luck finding a lover
Bad luck keeping the love I found
Bad luck over and over
But tonight your eyes say
You're gonna turn my luck around
When it comes to love
I heard you wrote the book
Broke all the rules
That's the chance I took
Your body's talking
I hear what you say
Am I the loser
In this game we play
All my life
I've been waiting for this time to come
It's been a long hard fight
'Cause my heart's been under the gun
I've had bad luck finding a lover
Bad luck keeping the love I found
Bad luck over and over
But tonight your eyes say
You're gonna turn my luck around
I've had nothing but bad luck
It just follows me around
All my life
All my life
I've been waiting for this time to come
It's been a long hard fight
'Cause my heart's been under the gun
I've had bad luck finding a lover
Bad luck keeping the love I found
Bad luck over and over
I've had bad luck
Yeah
Yeah
I've had bad luck finding a lover
Bad luck
Keeping the love
Bad luck over and over
Too much
