Well, well
Look down-hearted and confused
Because lately youâve been startin' to lose
Losin' out on everything, you might try to do
Bad luckâs there, itâs got a hold on you
Donât send you money, âbout to lose your home
Done lose your woman and everything you own
Love always plainly states that chances go around
But if you wanna know the truth about it
And tell you whatâs pullin' you down, yeah
You got bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
(Yes, uh)
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
You got bad luck, bad luck
Played a number âcause that numberâs hot
But the bookers gets you for every cent youâve got
Walk around in a daze with your pockets bare
Got to see your woman and she ainât even there
Donât seem to give a whiz about it and all your trapped in time
The more I think about it, I think youâre âbout to lose your mind
Some people call it jinxed, some say it ainât my day, huh
But if you wanna know the truth about it
And tell you whatâs pullin' you way down
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
(Yes, uh)
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
You got bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
You got bad luck, bad luck
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
One long week
Ooh, huh, yeah, yeah
One more thing
Love always plainly states that chances go around
But if you wanna know the truth about it
And tell you whatâs pullin' you down
Down, down, down, down, down
Bad luck
(Yes, uh)
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
You got bad luck
(Oh, yeah)
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
You got bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
You got bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
I canât get away from this bad luck
Huh, bad luck
Bad, bad
I want to get away but I canât keep myself
âCause I got bad luck
Huh, bad luck, yâall
Children sing with me, bad luck
Everybodyâs got bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck
Thatâs what you got, thatâs what you got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
(Come on)
Bad luck
(Come on)
People in the world out there
I know none yâall satisfied, satisfied
The way crisis has been goin' on, oh, babe
I better say Iâm just mad about mornin' paper, yeah
They cut down on smokin', we have to cut down on dreamin'
âCause early one morning I got me a paper, huh
I sat down on my living room floor
Opened it up opened it up, guess, what I saw, huh?
Saw the President of the United States
The man said he was gonna give it up
Heâs giving us high hopes
But he still turned around and left all us poor folks behind
They say they got another man to take his place
But I donât think they need to satisfy the human race
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
The only the thing that I got that I can hold on
Is my God, huh, my God, huh
Jesus be with me, Jesus
Give me good luck, good luck
Help me Jesus, huh, everybody needs
