Lyrics

My lucky star fell out of the sky

Loss of fortune or positive circumstances

Right before my wishin' well went dry

Unfortunate events coinciding, leading to a depleted source of hope or fulfillment

Seems every which way I go

Encountering difficulties or obstacles in various directions

There's a black cat crossin' the road

Symbolic of persistent negative influences or bad omens

I played the lottery with last month's rent

Attempting luck with financial risk, using last month's rent

I'm still waitin' on my ship to come in

Waiting for positive outcomes, possibly related to a metaphorical "ship"


Bad luck was always hangin' around

Consistently experiencing misfortune

c good roll was always lettin' me down

Positive outcomes were rare and disappointing

I had every reason in the world to give up

Considering giving up due to numerous challenges

But you came along and now it's gone so long

The arrival of someone special has changed the streak of bad luck

Bad luck

Summarizes the overall theme of persistent bad luck


My first love said she'd love me for life

Abandonment by the first love without a proper farewell

Slipped out one night never told me goodbye

A repeat of heartbreak, emphasizing the transient nature of love

My second love convinced me love again

A new love promising a fresh start

Then she left me for my best friend

Betrayal as the new love leaves for the narrator's best friend

My third and fourth went crazy as hell

Subsequent relationships turn chaotic

I even bought a rabbit's foot but that didn't help

Superstitious attempts to ward off bad luck, unsuccessful with a rabbit's foot


Bad luck was always hangin' around

Reiteration of the persistent presence of bad luck

c good roll was always lettin' me down

Continued disappointment despite occasional positive events

I had every reason in the world to give up

Contemplating giving up due to overwhelming challenges

But you came along and now it's gone so long

The arrival of a special person changes the course of bad luck

Bad luck

Reiteration of the persistent presence of bad luck


You're my lucky four-leaf clover

Symbolic references to luck and good fortune associated with a loved one

Horseshoe over my shoulder

Additional symbols of luck, suggesting protection from misfortune

Seven come eleven girl, I'm lucky I found you

A stroke of luck in finding a special person


Bad luck was always hangin' around

Reiteration of the persistent presence of bad luck

c good roll was always lettin' me down

Continued disappointment despite occasional positive events

I had every reason in the world to give up

Contemplating giving up due to overwhelming challenges

But you came along and now it's gone so long

The arrival of a special person changes the course of bad luck

Bad luck

Reiteration of the persistent presence of bad luck
