Lucky
Britney Spears · Triple Feature [2012]
This is a story about a girl named Lucky...
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go...
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say...
[chorus:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning,
And she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go...
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say...
[chorus:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
(Ay-ay-yeah-eh-eh-yeah)
"Best actress, and the winner is... Lucky!"
(Ay-ay-yeah-eh-eh-yeah)
"I'm Roger Johnson from Pop News standing outside
the arena waiting for Lucky!
Oh, my God... here she comes!"
(Here she comes, here shes comes)
Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there is nothing missing in her life,
Why do tears come at night?
And they say...
She's so lucky (She is so lucky), she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life (If there is nothing)
Then why do these tears come at night?
She's so lucky (She is so lucky)
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life (If there is nothing)
Then why do these tears come at night?
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go...
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say...
[chorus:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning,
And she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go...
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say...
[chorus:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

If there's nothing missing in my life (If there is nothing)
Then why do these tears come at night?
She's so lucky (She is so lucky)
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life (If there is nothing)
Then why do these tears come at night?
Lucky - Britney Spears
Released in 2012 on the album Triple Feature, 'Lucky' represents a significant shift in Britney Spears' musical direction, moving away from her pop-punk roots of the early 2000s toward a more mature, R&B-influenced sound. The track features a smooth production style that complements Spears' vocal delivery, showcasing her ability to adapt her artistry across different genres and eras. As part of her discography during this period, the song reflects her continued evolution as an artist, blending elements of contemporary pop with a reflective tone that distinguishes it from her earlier high-energy hits.
