Bad Luck
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes featuring Theodore
Pendergrass
(John Whitehead/Gene McFadden/V.
Carstarphen)

Uh
Woo
Well, well

Look down-hearted and
confused
Because lately you’ve been startin'to lose
Losin'out on
everything you might try to do
Bad luck’s there, it’s got a hold on
you

Don’t send you money, ‘bout to lose your home
Done lost your
woman and everything’s wrong
Love always plainly states that chances go
around
But if you wanna know the truth about it and tell you what’s
pullin'you down, yeah

(You got) Bad luck
That’s what you got,
that’s what you got (Yes, uh)
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s
what you got
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (You
got)
Bad luck, bad luck (Bad)

Played a number ‘cause that
number’s hot
But the bookers gets you for every cent you’ve got
Walk
around in a daze with the richer pockets bare
Got to see your woman and she
ain’t even there

Don’t seem to give a whiz about it and all your
trapped in time
The more I think about it, I think you’re ‘bout to lose
your mind
Some people call it jinxed, some say it ain’t my day, huh
But
if you wanna know the truth about it and tell you what’s pullin'you way
down

Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (Yes,
uh)
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (You
got)
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (You
got)
Bad luck, bad luck (Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad)

One long
week
Ooh, huh
Yeah, yeah
One more thing

Love always plainly
states that chances go around
But if you wanna know the truth about it and
tell you what’s pullin'you down
Down, down, down, down, down

Bad
luck (Yes, uh)
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (You got)
Bad
luck (Oh…yeah)
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (You
got)
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (You
got)
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck

Bad luck
That’s what
you got, that’s what you got
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s
what you got
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got
Bad
luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck

Bad luck
That’s what you got,
that’s what you got
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you
got
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got
Bad luck,
bad luck, bad luck, bad luck (I can’t get away from this bad
luck)

Huh
Bad luck
Bad, bad
I want to get away but I can’t
keep myself
‘Cause I got bad luck
Huh, bad luck, y’all
Children
sing with me, "Bad luck"
Everybody’s got bad luck, bad luck, bad
luck

Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got
Bad
luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got
Bad luck
That’s
what you got, that’s what you got
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad
luck

Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got
(Mmm...mmm...)
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you
got
Bad luck
That’s what you got, that’s what you got (Hey)
Bad
luck (Yeah), bad luck, bad luck (Come on), bad luck (Come on)

Ga-ga,
woo
People in the world out there
I know none-a y’all satisfied,
satisfied
The way crisis has been goin?on, oh, babe
I better say I’m
just mad about mornin?paper, yeah
They cut down on smokin?[Cut down on
smokin’]
We have to cut down on dreamin?[Cut down on
dreamin’]
‘Cause early one morning I got me a paper, huh
I sat down
on my living room floor
Opened it up [Opened it up], opened it up [Opened it
up]
Guess, what I saw, huh?
Saw the President of the United States,
huh
The man said he was gonna give it up
He’s giving us high
hopes
But he still turned around and left all us poor folks behind
They
say they got another man to take his place
But I don’t think they need to
satisfy the human race
Bad luck, huh
Bad luck, bad luck, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey
The only the thing that I got that I can hold on
Is my God,
huh, my God, huh
Jesus be with me, Jesus
Give me good luck, huh, good
luck
Help me Jesus, huh
Everybody needs
