I've Got Beginner's Luck
Unlocking Love's Fortune: I've Got Beginner's Luck by Chris Connor
Lyrics
At any gambling casino
Refers to various gambling locations.
From Mobnte Carlo to Reno,
Mentions Monte Carlo and Reno as examples of gambling places.
They tell you that a beginner
States the belief that a novice is likely to win.
Comes out a winner.
Emphasizes the positive outcome for beginners.
Beginner fishing for flounder
Uses fishing metaphor to express beginner's luck in romance.
Will catch a seventeen pounder;
Exaggerates success, suggesting a remarkable catch.
That's what I've always heard
Expresses skepticism about such luck.
And always thought absurd,
Personal disbelief in beginner's luck until now.
But now I believe ev'ry word!
Reversal of belief, now accepting the concept.
For I've got beginner's luck;
Declares possession of beginner's luck in love.
The first time I'm in love
Associates love with being fortunate for the first time.
I'm in love with you,
Directly addresses the person the singer is in love with.
Gosh I'm lucky!
Expresses astonishment at the singer's luck.
I've got beginner's luck;
Reiterates possession of beginner's luck in love.
There never was such a smile
Highlights the exceptional qualities of the loved one.
Or such eyes of blue,
Describes the attractive features of the loved one.
Gosh I'm fortunate!
Expresses gratitude for the singer's luck.
This thing we've begun
States that the romantic relationship is significant.
Is much more than a pastime,
Emphasizes the importance of the current romantic experience.
For this time is the one
Implies a unique and memorable first-time experience.
Where the first time is the last time!
Suggests that the initial romantic encounter is everlasting.
I've got beginner's luck,
Reiterates the possession of beginner's luck in love.
Lucky through and through,
Asserts overall luckiness in love.
For the first time that I'm in love,
Connects luck with being in love for the first time.
I'm in love with you!
Reiterates the declaration of love to the specific person.
I've got beginner's luck;
Confirms the possession of beginner's luck in love.
The first time I'm in love
Rephrases the connection between luck and being in love.
I'm in love with you,
Reiterates the direct address to the loved one.
Gosh I'm lucky!
Expresses continued amazement at the singer's luck.
I've got beginner's luck;
Reaffirms the possession of beginner's luck in love.
They told me beginners win,
Refers to the general belief that beginners succeed.
Now I know it's true,
States personal confirmation of this belief.
Gosh I'm fortunate!
Expresses ongoing gratitude for the singer's luck.
This thing we've begun
Reiterates the significance of the romantic relationship.

Emphasizes the enduring nature of the current experience.
For this time is the one
