Lucky You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time you get a drink
And every time you go to sleep
Are those dreams inside your head?
Is that sunlight on your bed?

[Verse 2]
Every time you're driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You're never getting rid of me

[Chorus]
You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me


[Verse 3]
You could've made a safer bet
But what you break is what you get
You wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake


[Chorus]
You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me
You own me
Lucky you
You own me
There's nothing you can do
[Bridge]
You clean yourself to meet
A man who isn't me
You're putting on a shirt
A shirt I'll never see
The letter's in your coat
And no one's in your head
'Cause you're too smart to remember
You're too smart


Lucky you
Lucky you
Lucky you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
