You can break away or you can stay You choose your life, you're free to fly Go on and fly Go on and fly She had it in her all the time To get away and try to find Somewhere to go, to run She saw the world through open eyes And never let a soul inside Don't come too close, so close Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart? Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night You can take what you want, and you don't think twice 'Cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Her soul was strong, her heart was tough And when she felt she had enough She tore herself away Love in the dark is all you see Get what you want, not what you need You look the other way Never letting on to what it's all become Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night You can take what you want, and you don't think twice 'Cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart? Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night You can take what you want, and you don't think twice 'Cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Oh, the lucky one Oh, the lucky one

So hot outside all I can wear is these cut off overalls And sandals on my feet But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket Just so I could sit there on a broken seat I got no place I should go I got no worries you know Second or seventh street It doesn't matter to me 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one Well, I pulled back down to my upstreet apartment The air never works in that old place Twenty-seven I thought I'd be further along Than just this rented space I got no papers to read I got no cable TV,no And I got no places to be I got no people to meet 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm on a roll When I'm with you Don't stop me now I just can't lose 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah, I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) Yeah I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) I'm the lucky one

New to town with a made-up name In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame And the camera flashes make it look like a dream You had it figured out since you were in school Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool So overnight, you look like a '60s queen Another name goes up in lights Like diamonds in the sky And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one But can you tell me now you're the lucky one? Oh, oh, oh Now it's big black cars and Riviera views And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused 'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used And all the young things line up to take your place Another name goes up in lights You wonder if you'll make it out alive And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one Can you tell me now you're the lucky one? Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh It was a few years later, I showed up here And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared How you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square And it took some time, but I understand it now 'Cause now my name is up in lights But I think you got it right Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one Oh, oh, oh Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I've put it all behind me Nothing left to do or doubt Some may say But every silver lining Always seems to have a cloud That comes my way Anticipated pleasure Or unexpected pain No choice I fear Love is hard to measure Hidden in the rain That's why you'll find me Here all alone and still wondering why Waiting inside for the cold to get colder And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time Hoping to fly cause it's almost over now People come together People go their own way Love conquers few And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say Just not for you How many days should I smile with a frown? Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders And how many nights must I wake up alone? And know in my soul that it's almost over now Our love is like a paper airplane flying in the folded wind Riding high, dipping low And innocence is fair game I'm hoping I can hold it in Our love will die I know

When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain I'd stand under the downspout,let the water cool my brain I never thought to worry if the river rose too high That all the seeds we planted would get washed out with the tide But now I am a man And I need a place to hide But there's nowhere to run And there's no place to hide Where the water runs free And the mud starts to slide When I was a young man I could work through wind and rain I never thought to worry,had no reason to complain I thought that I was standing on a rock so firm and strong But it was easy then to see,just what was right and what was wrong But now I am a man I won't be hanging round too long When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain I'd stand under the downspout,let the water cool my brain I never thought to worry if the river rose too high And all the dreams we planted would get washed out with the tide But there's nowhere to run And there's no place to hide Where the water runs free And the mud starts to slide Where the water runs free And the mud starts to slide
