Lucky Guy
The Baseballs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had a four leaf clover
Put it in the trash
When I break a mirror
Well I just have for laugh
I walk under ladders
Oh yes indeed
′Cause I'm so lucky you just won′t believe
Baby, you're the reason why

I'm a lucky guy (he′s a lucky guy)
I′m a lucky guy

Don't need a wish
On a shooting star
I used to cross my fingers
Never got me far
If I had a genie
I′ll set him free
'Cause there ain′t nothing he could do for me

Baby, you're the reason why
I′m a lucky guy (he's a lucky guy)
I'm a lucky guy

I had a four leaf clover
Put it in the trash
When I break a mirror
Well I just have for laugh
If I had a genie
I′ll set him free
′Cause there ain't nothing he could do for me

Baby since you caught ma eye
I′m telling you I'm the happiest man alive

And it′s true, you're the reason why
I′m a lucky guy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Baseballs's song "Lucky Guy" can be interpreted as a playful expression of gratitude towards the singer's lover. The first verse suggests that the singer has given up on superstitions such as four-leaf clovers, mirrors, and ladders, as he believes that his good fortune is solely due to the presence of his beloved in his life. The chorus reinforces this idea, stating that he doesn't need any external help like wishing on a shooting star or a genie's magic because he already feels lucky enough with his partner.

The second verse is particularly interesting because it hints that the singer might have been a skeptic or a pessimist before meeting his lover. He says that he used to cross his fingers but never got lucky until he found his partner. The bridge of the song makes the message even clearer, as the singer declares that his lover is the reason why he feels like the "happiest man alive." Therefore, the song Lucky Guy can be seen as an affirmation of the power of love to bring happiness and good fortune into people's lives.

Line by Line Meaning

Had a four leaf clover
I once had some good luck in my life

Put it in the trash
But then I threw that luck away

When I break a mirror
I don't worry about bad luck or superstitions

Well I just have for laugh
I find it amusing instead

I walk under ladders
I don't believe in superstitions either

Oh yes indeed
I am completely confident in my luck

'Cause I'm so lucky you just won′t believe
I am incredibly lucky, it's hard to comprehend

Baby, you're the reason why
But the real reason for my luck is you

I'm a lucky guy (he′s a lucky guy)
I am truly fortunate

Don't need a wish
I don't need any kind of miraculous intervention

On a shooting star
Even wishing upon a shooting star won't make a difference
