Bad Luck Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes

[Intro]
Uh
Woo
Well

[Verse 1]
You're downhearted and confused
Because lately you've been startin' to lose
Losin' out on everything you might try to do
Bad luck, fella's got a hold on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Losin' your money, 'bout to lose your home
Done lost your woman and everything you own
Law of average plainly states that chances go around
Now if you wanna know the truth about her
Tell what's pulling you down, yeah

[Chorus]
Bad luck (That's what you got, that's what you got), yeah
Bad luck (That's what you got, that's what you got), yeah
Bad luck (That's what you got, that's what you got)
Bad luck, bad luck

[Verse 2]
You played that number 'cause that number's hot
'Stead the bookies get you for every cent you've got
Walk around in a daze with your pockets bare
Go see your woman, and she ain't even there
