Bad Luck

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes featuring Theodore Pendergrass

(John Whitehead/Gene McFadden/V. Carstarphen)

Uh

Woo

Well, well

Look down-hearted and confused

Because lately you've been startin'to lose

Losin'out on everything you might try to do

Bad luck's there, it's got a hold on you

Don't send you money, 'bout to lose your home

Done lost your woman and everything's wrong

Love always plainly states that chances go around

But if you wanna know the truth about it and tell you what's pullin'you down, yeah

(You got) Bad luck

That's what you got, that's what you got (Yes, uh)

Bad luck

That's what you got, that's what you got

Bad luck

That's what you got, that's what you got (You got)

Bad luck, bad luck (Bad)

Played a number 'cause that number's hot

But the bookers gets you for every cent you've got

Walk around in a daze with the richer pockets bare

Got to see your woman and she ain't even there

Don't seem to give a whiz about it and all your trapped in time

The more I think about it, I think you're 'bout to lose your mind

Some people call it jinxed, some say it ain't my day, huh

But if you wanna know the truth about it and tell you what's pullin'you way down

Bad luck

That's what you got, that's what you got (Yes, uh)

Bad luck

That's what you got, that's what you got (You got)

Bad luck

That's what you got, that's 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 what's pullin'you down

Down, down, down, down, down

Bad luck (Yes, uh)

That's what you got, that's what you got (You got)

Bad luck (Oh…yeah)

That's what you got, tha
