Don't Go Searchin' for Luck
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You go out at night willing to have some fun
You dress up `cos tonight's the night
You heading for love, someone to hold you tight
You go for your target arrow- straight

Don't try to make anything happen by force
You're so busy running around so you can't find the door
Don't go searchin' for luck
It's gonna find you as soon as you stop looking out
Don't go searchin' for luck
It's gonna find you as soon as you stop looking out

You know what you want and you want it today
Tomorrow's too late, you gotta have your way
The harder you try, the more frustrated you get
Just let your good vibes flow, I say

Don't try to make anything happen by force
You're so busy running around so you can't find the door

Don't go searchin' for luck
It's gonna find you as soon as you stop looking out
Don't go searchin' for luck
It's gonna find you as soon as you stop looking out

Don't go searchin' for luck
It's gonna find you as soon as you stop looking out




Don't g osearchin' for luck
It's gonna find you as soon as you stop looking out
