good luck is a stranger

good luck is a stranger to me

it passes without saying hello

if you ask me, here's what I'd say

it's something that I don't know

I work everyday

but luck doesn't come my way

it disappears like day into night

I know it's true

that luck doesn't come to you

but I always have the feeling it might

yesterday I played to win

everything went my way

but that does't mean a thing

when it comes to what happens today

I work all the time

but the future's not kind

it takes away all that I need

but today's not the same

and I won't be to blame

today's the day I'm going to be freed

good luck is a stranger to me

it's gone like a ship in the night

I cannot depend on it happening

mostly, it hides out of sight

but one day I will find

luck won't leave me behind

it won't be something I've missed

problem is, though,

good luck is one thing I know

is something that doesn't exist

good luck is a stranger to me

it passes without saying hello
