lyrics

LUCKY YOU copyright Ben Ballinger 2014

You fell in love with a hypocrite
Worst of all he won't admit it
Yesterday I couldn't stand him
But today, he's my best friend

You spend all day just trying to explain
How I made you mad, but it'll be ok
And I know I drive you crazy but I won't change
And I don't know how I feel 'til I'm too drunk to explain.

You are patient and wise,
You could be famous and free,
But lucky you, lucky you, You get to love me.

My pride is made of eggshells and tissue paper
I make you remove your shoes and always whisper
And if I make a mistake, well I must have meant to
And if one of those eggshells break I hold it against you.

You are patient and wise,
You could be famous and free,
But lucky you, lucky you, You get to love me.
