I hung a horseshoe on the wall
 I threw salt over my left shoulder
 I'll try anything at all
 To get lucky with you I
 want you so much
 Until you want me too
 I ain't gonna give up

 Chorus:

 I'll throw another nickel in the well
 Tell myself maybe this time it'll help
 To make my dreams come true
 I'll make another wish upon a star
 Just in case you're out in your backyard
 Lookin' up there too
 With a lot of love and a little luck
 You'll fall like I fell
 I'll just cross my fingers
 And throw another nickel in the well

 If I could get Houdini
 To teach me a trick or two
 Then maybe you would see me
 In the way I want you to
 Gonna knock on wood
 It ain't been easy
 I've done everything I could
 To make you need me

 Chorus:

 With a lot of love and a little luck
 You'll fall like I fell
 I'll just cross my fingers
 And throw another nickel in the well

 Yeah, just cross my fingers
 And throw another nickel in the well
