Tough Luck
Tough Luck: A Love Beyond Shooting Stars and Broken Pennies
Lyrics
I've never seen a shooting star
I haven't witnessed a shooting star.
Four-leaf clovers are not in my repertoire
Four-leaf clovers are not something I typically encounter or possess.
No heads up penny can be found
I don't find lucky pennies with heads up.
I leave 'em on the ground
I leave pennies on the ground.
One cent won't get you all that far
A single cent doesn't have much value.
But I don't have to pretend our love will end
I don't need to pretend our love will end.
'Cause when it comes to lovin' you
Expressing a natural and effortless love for you.
I don't have to try, it's just what I'm made to do
Loving you is innate; no effort is required.
And when it comes to lovin' me
Your love astonishes and liberates my soul.
You blow my mind and my soul's free
We share mutual and balanced emotions.
We walk reciprocated lines
Mutual understanding and harmony characterize our relationship.
It's easy all the time
Our relationship is consistently easy.
When it comes to lovin' you
Reiterating the natural and genuine love experienced.
Ride it all on red, it lands on black
Taking risks in love, sometimes winning and sometimes losing.
Step on a crack, I break my own back
Acknowledging superstitions and self-imposed challenges.
I've grown accustomed to the sound
Accustomed to the negative sounds of doors closing in relationships.
Of slamming doors all around
Past experiences do not diminish the desire for love.
Lessons learned don't lessen lack
Lessons learned do not alleviate the feeling of absence.
But I don't have to pretend our love will end
No need to pretend our love is temporary.
'Cause when it comes to lovin' you
Loving you is instinctive and not forced.
I don't have to try, it's just what I'm made to do, yeah
Loving you is part of my nature.
And when it comes to lovin' me, oh
Your love amazes and frees my soul.
You blow my mind and my soul's free
We reciprocate love effortlessly.
We walk reciprocated lines
Our love is consistently uncomplicated.
It's easy all the time
Expressing the ease of loving you.
When it comes to lovin' you
Reaffirming the natural and effortless love experienced.
Oh oh, yeah
Expressing emotions and agreement.
No, no, yeah, oh
Emphasizing negation and disagreement.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Expressing emotions and agreement.
I was made for you
I was specifically created for you.
I was made for you
Reiterating being made for each other.
Hee
Expressing excitement or affirmation.
Yeah, when it comes to lovin' you
Reaffirming the innate and effortless nature of loving you.
Yeah, yeah
Expressing agreement and affirmation.
I don't have to try, it's just what I'm made to do
Loving you is instinctive and not forced.
Oh
Expressing emotions, perhaps awe or admiration.
And when it comes to lovin' me
Expressing emotions and agreement.
Ooh yeah
-You blow my mind and my soul's, my soul's free
Your love astonishes and liberates my soul.
Yeah
Expressing agreement and affirmation.
This world's, this world's a struggle everyday
Highlighting the challenges of daily life.
For a girl like me to get her minimum takeaway
Expressing the struggle to meet basic needs.
But honey I'd trade everything
Expressing willingness to sacrifice for love.
If lovin' you's what tough luck brings
Accepting tough luck in love as long as it involves you.
Oh, oh, ooh
Expressing emotions, perhaps frustration or longing.
When it comes to lovin' you
Reaffirming the natural and effortless love experienced.
When it comes to lovin' you
Reiterating the innate and effortless nature of loving you.
Hee, comes to lovin' you
Expressing excitement or affirmation.
It's what I was made to do
Loving you is what I was created to do.
