Bad Luck

Bad Luck - Harold Melvin/The Blue Notes

Uh

Woo

Well well

Look down-hearted and confused

Because lately you've been startin'to lose

Losin'out on everything you might try to do

Bad luck's there it's got a hold on you

Don't send you money 'bout to lose your home

Done lost your woman and everything's wrong

Love always plainly states that chances go around

But if you wanna know the truth about it

And tell you what's pullin'you down yeah

(You got) Bad luck

That's what you got that's what you got (Yes uh)

Bad luck

Bad luck

That's what you got that's what you got (You got)

Bad luck bad luck (Bad)

Played a number 'cause that number's hot

But the bookers gets you for every cent you've got

Walk around in a daze with the richer pockets bare

Got to see your woman and she ain't even there

Don't seem to give a whiz about it and all your trapped in time

The more I think about it I think you're 'bout to lose your mind

Some people call it jinxed some say it ain't my day huh

But if you wanna know the truth about it

And tell you what's pullin'you way down

Bad luck

That's what you got that's what you got (Yes uh)

Bad luck

That's what you got that's what you got (You got)

One long week

Ooh huh

Yeah yeah

Love always plainly states that chances go around

But if you wanna know the truth about it

And tell you what's pullin'you down

Down down down down down

'Cause early one morning I got me a paper huh

Guess what I saw huh

Saw the President of the United States huh

The man said he was gonna give it up

He's giving us high hopes

But he still turned around

And left all us poor folks behind

They say they got another man to take his place

But I don't think they need to satisfy the human race

Is my God huh my God huh
