Mama said Son, the day I turned 5
'There¹s only two things gonna keep you alive
One you give away, one¹s outta your hands
You gotta give a lotta love to be a mighty good man'
(Chorus)
If you can¹t be good, be lucky
Throw them dice every chance you get
If you can¹t be good, be lucky
Don¹t be scared baby, no regrets
It¹s all about love, and nothing œbout money
It¹s easier to win than to work for it, honey
If you can¹t be good, be lucky
Well, I wasn¹t real slick and I wasn¹t real smooth
I wasn¹t sharp dressed, Lord I know I wasn¹t cool
Musta had some kind of mojo working
œCause I sure was lucky the day I met you
(Repeat chorus)
You can¹t get lucky waiting on nothing to do
You gotta risk your heart like you got nothing to lose
(Repeat chorus)
