Bad luck is my middle name
The wheel of fortune spins
But it's just a fixed game
I need love
I'm like anyone else
There must be a Heaven
Cause I know there's a Hell

I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

Always a day late
And a dollar short
Now, my landlord
He wants to take me to court
You need help
A mess of help to get by
Lovers betray, and friends they lie

I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I gotta find a love like I never had
One that start good and don't end up bad
I need a shoulder I can rest my weary head on
I wanna forget, I never wanna let on

Come here, honey
Sit right down
I've had a rough time, yeah
But, I'm still around
About love
I picked the right way to learn
Now, I know I gotta get something in return

I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
I've had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
