Lucky
Original Sound Track Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On Saint Patty's Day,
I found a lucky penny,
Along the way.
Put in my pocket,
The one with the hole in it.
These days things don't seem to go my way...
When I'm predicting rain most everyday.
But lately I've been right, almost every time
These days things don't seem to go my way...
What would I do?
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
I hadn't already got lucky once for you?
So I keep tellin' myself something's gonna change.
Maybe I'll get lucky,
Then I can smile again
'Cause that's what I wanna do,
I wanna smile for you
I'm waiting for somethings to go my way...
What would I do,
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
FUCK SAINT PATTY'S DAY!
I'm throwing my pennies away!
But I'm holdin' on,
To a single lucky charm!
That's what I wanna do,
I wanna smile for you,
I'm waiting for somethings to go my way...
What would I do,
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
If I hadn't of found you,
What would I do,
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
If I hadn't of, wouldn't of, couldn't of,
What would I do,
If I hadn't already got lucky once for you?

Walking home
As I was walking back to my place
On Saint Patty's Day,
On St. Patrick's Day,
I found a lucky penny,
I came across a fortunate penny,
Along the way.
On my path home.
Put in my pocket,
I placed it in my pocket,
The one with the hole in it.
The pocket that has a hole in it.
These days things don't seem to go my way...
Lately, things haven't been going well for me.
I know it it's tough sometimes to be with me,
I understand that it can be difficult to be around me at times,
When I'm predicting rain most everyday.
Especially when I tend to predict negative outcomes frequently.
But lately I've been right, almost every time
However, recently my predictions have been accurate most of the time.
So I keep tellin' myself something's gonna change.
I continue to encourage myself that things will improve soon.
Maybe I'll get lucky,
Perhaps I'll have some good fortune,
Then I can smile again
And I'll be able to smile once more
'Cause that's what I wanna do,
Because that's what I desire,
I wanna smile for you
I want to make you happy.
FUCK SAINT PATTY'S DAY!
Curse St. Patrick's Day
I'm throwing my pennies away!
I'm getting rid of all my spare change.
But I'm holdin' on,
However, I'm keeping
To a single lucky charm!
One fortunate object.
What would I do,
How would I cope
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
If I haven't had the luck of finding you?
If I hadn't already got lucky once for you?
If I haven't been fortunate enough to have you in my life?
If I hadn't of found you,
If I haven't discovered you,
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you?
If I haven't had the luck of finding you?
If I hadn't of, wouldn't of, couldn't of,
If I hadn't, I wouldn't be able to,
What would I do,
How would I cope
If I hadn't already got lucky once for you?
If I haven't been fortunate enough to have you in my life?
