Goodluck Man
Chasing Shadows of a Goodluck Man
Lyrics
I've got me a goodluck man
I am in a relationship with a man who brings good luck.
But he's got this way of hiding
He has a tendency to conceal or keep things hidden.
He's got a pretty memory
He possesses a beautiful and positive recollection.
But sometimes he needs reminding
However, he sometimes forgets and requires reminders.
And I have tried, I have tried to find him
I have attempted to search for him.
Now he don't paint but if he could
Although he doesn't paint, he expressed a desire to portray me beside him.
He said he'd paint me right beside him
If he had the ability to paint, he would depict us together.
And from the angle of my olive eyes
Describing the perspective of her eyes, possibly expressing joy.
You could tell that I was smiling
My happiness would be evident from the way my eyes look.
And I don't blame, I don't blame him for trying
I don't blame him for attempting to create happiness.
Forgiveness is a funny word
Forgiveness is a complex term often used dishonestly.
We use when we are lying
We deceive ourselves by using forgiveness to avoid facing the truth.
And we give ourselves a heavy dose
We administer a significant amount of forgiveness to prevent tears.
Just to keep from crying
This forgiveness serves as a coping mechanism.
But can't you see, can't you see that it's blinding
The coping mechanism can be blinding and obstructive.
Simple is as simple does
Simplicity is defined by one's actions.
And beauty is deceiving
Beauty can be misleading or deceptive.
Sweeter is the melody
The melody you hum while leaving is sweet but transient.
You're humming as you're leaving
Despite the transience, I choose to believe in it one more time.
One more time I will choose to believe him
(This line suggests a decision to trust again despite previous experiences.)
So I had me this goodluck man
I had a man who brought me good luck.
But he had this way of hiding
However, he had a tendency to hide or keep things concealed.
