| 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, 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) | |
