Sure Thing
Schuur Diane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The favorite doesn't always win
No matter what they are
Since nobody knows how they'll come in
I'll leave it to the God

So wish me a luck
Because I'm going to bet on
A sentimental hunch
My heart has suddenly settled

Somehow I'm sure I found a sure thing in you
Something within tells me we'll win
Somewhere my heart has picked you out of the blue
And since I'm only a beginner, a winner I'll be

But win or lose whatever comes up
Your thumbs up with me

One thing I'm sure, I'm sure of
All my life through




If love can figure out a sure thing
That sure thing is you
