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, 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 luck, bad
luck

Bad luck
That’s what you got,
that’s what you got
Bad luck
That’s
what you got, that’s what you got
Bad
luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you
got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad
luck

Bad luck
That’s what you got,
that’s what you got
Bad luck
That’s
what you got, that’s what you got
Bad
luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you
got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck (I
can’t get away from this bad
luck)

Huh
Bad luck
Bad, bad
I
want to get away but I can’t keep
myself
‘Cause I got bad luck
Huh, bad
luck, y’all
Children sing with me, "Bad
luck"
Everybody’s got bad luck, bad luck,
bad luck

Bad luck
That’s what you
got, that’s what you got
Bad
luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you
got
Bad luck
That’s what you got,
that’s what you got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad
luck, bad luck

Bad luck
That’s what
you got, that’s what you got
(Mmm...mmm...)
Bad luck
That’s what you
got, that’s what you got
Bad
luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you
got (Hey)
Bad luck (Yeah), bad luck, bad luck
(Come on), bad luck (Come on)

Ga-ga,
woo
People in the world out there
I know
none-a y’all satisfied, satisfied
The way
crisis has been goin?on, oh, babe
I better say
I’m just mad about mornin?paper, yeah
They
cut down on smokin?[Cut down on smokin’]
We
have to cut down on dreamin?[Cut down on
dreamin’]
‘Cause early one morning I got
me a paper, huh
I sat down on my living room
floor
Opened it up [Opened it up], opened it
up [Opened it up]
Guess, what I saw,
huh?
Saw the President of the United States,
huh
The man said he was gonna give it
up
He’s 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 don’t think they need to
satisfy the human race
Bad luck, huh
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, huh, good
luck
Help me Jesus, huh
Everybody needs
