Just My Luck
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
You said we'd be together
What does it take
To get you close to me
So many times
You said things would get better
But time after time
You failed to convince me (ooh, baby)
And now you're tellin' me
It's all in the past
How can you be sure
It's gonna last
Say you wanna be with me
And that you're comin' to me right now
I want to believe (want to)
I want to believe (need to)
I almost think I can believe
Just my luck
You'll get caught up in the rain
But that's the last time
That you'll come my way again
Just my luck
You'll get caught up in the rain
But that's the last time
That you'll come my way again
So many times you said
That you would never
Never take your love away from me
But girl, you know sometimes
You're like the weather
You brighten my day
And then you rain on me
Hook
Hook repeat to fade
Just My Luck
