I never wanted nothing

Baby you know it's true

I never wanted nothing

The way I wanted you

I kept me hands clean

I walked a good line

I knew someday baby

Someday you'd be mine

And when fortune came to town

I was standing in with the unsatisfied

So I lay my wishes down

For the things that money can't buy



Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

Oh baby you know it's true

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

I've been lucky since I found you



I used to play it safe

Yea that's what I'd do

I never wanted nothing

Nothing I could lose

I was just frightened of

Of the price you pay

For every good thing

That ever comes your way

I'm going to lay my worries down

Lay them down baby

Yeah I can't complain

'Cause I'm shining (shining) down

Like a new link in an old chain



Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

I've been lucky since I found you

I'm a lucky girl

I'm a lucky girl

I'm a lucky girl

I'm a lucky girl



Yeah I got lucky baby

Yeah 'cause I got wise

You can run but you can never hide

Build a house of steel

Raise a cross of stone

When that cold wind blows

It finds you all alone

And when fortune came to town

I was standing in with the unsatisfied

So I lay my wishes down

For the things that money can't buy



Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

Oh baby you know it's true

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

I've been lucky since I found you

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

Mmmm baby you know it's true

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl

I've been lucky since I found you

I've been lucky since

I've been lucky since

I've been lucky since I found you

I've been lucky since

I've been lucky since

I've been lucky since I found you

Oh guess I'm a lucky girl

Oh such a lucky girl

Oh yes I'm a lucky girl

Oh such a lucky girl
