Lucky In Love (Peter Knobler/Chris Hillman)


I'm lucky in love and I'm always a loser
I don't have to worry about playing to win
If somebody's heart breaks it's mine, I can take it
Dumb luck and smart money's got me losin' again

I'm lucky in love and I've learned to fall easy
I can't stand bein' lonely, gonna beg you to stay
And then if it's certain I know you will leave me
Before you get to it I'm walkin' away

You rejected advances that I wasn't makin'
And you ruined the chances that I just wasn't takin'

I'm lucky in love and I've left myself open
for romance with a vengence one last rendezvous
I just can't refuse to show up for a showdown 
It happened all over, what can I do

I'm lucky in love and I've paid for my safety
It used to be simple a smile and a prayer
I've taken my chances but now if you need me
I'm safe and I'm sorry if I just can't be there

You rejected advances that I wasn't makin'
And you ruined the chances that I just wasn't takin'

I'm so lucky, Oh, lucky in love
Mmm, Mmm
