Lyrics
How Lucky Could I Get?
I saw your bags packed by the door
I saw your face and I knew it all
I heard your Dad leaning on the horn
I heard something you said and you were gone
It was then that I felt so empty inside
I felt that way for a long long time
and when people ask about you even today
there?s only one thing that I can say
How lucky could I get?
How lucky could I get?
Lost and lonely, yea you bet
How lucky could I get?
I guess I wasn?t every young girl?s fantasy
You?re Dad sure hated me
Grab your stuff he snarled and off you ran
Me I?m hanging in doing all I can
I got the old place got no place to go
I?ve got some old friends that still say Hello
and even today if I get that inquiry
there?s only one thought that occurs to me
How lucky could I get?
How lucky could I get?
Scared and lonely, yea you bet
How lucky could I get?
How lucky could I get?
How lucky could I get?
Scared and lonely, yea you bet
(Knowing sorry and regret
I?m sorry for the day we met)
How lucky could I get?
