I'm Lucky
Joan Armatrading · Walk Under Ladders [2010]
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I can walk under ladders
Yes, I'm so lucky that
I'm as lucky as me
Struck it rich, dirty rich
No work and get richer
And the world loves a winner
Yes, I'm so happy that you're happy with me
(You are happy too, ain't you baby)
Hey
Numero uno
Living for right now
And it's L I V I N G
When I'm here with you
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
Don't need a bracelet
No salt for my shoulder
I don't own a rabbit
No clover, no heather
No cross, no wonder
I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I can walk under ladders
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I can walk under ladders
I don't own a bracelet
No clover, no heather
No cross, no wonder
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I can walk under ladders
I can walk under ladders
I'm Lucky
