[Verse 1]
Once upon a way back when, misery was my best friend
Always running from a misspent youth, cold and empty as a pay phone booth
I might have known a girl or two, but nothing even close to you
Anyone with eyes could see, I'd had about enough of me
[Chorus]
How many times have
I heard myself say
If I hadn't got lucky, if I hadn't had you on my side
I wouldn't be standing here today
[Verse 2]
Before you came into my world, I couldn't get my flag unfurled
Any wind to find my sail was moving me to no avail
The thing about the man I was, lonely is as lonely does
Everyday a blinding blur 'cause that was just the way things were
[Chorus]
How many times havе
I heard myself say
If I hadn't got lucky, if I hadn't had you on my side
I wouldn't bе standing here today
