JUST MY LUCK
From the Broadway Musical "The Body Beautiful" (1958)
(Lyrics: Sheldon Harnick / Music: Jerry Bock)


Mindy Carson (Broadway Production) - 1958
Eydie Gorme - 1963



Just my luck, found me a lover
Now I discover I was unwise
My true love fooled me completely
Spoke to me sweetly, nothin' but lies

So I rave and I rant, and I run from his kiss
But it seems that I can't get him out of my system
Lightning struck, oh, what a feeling
That's when the ceiling fell from above
Why is it just my luck that I'm still in love

Just my luck, found me a lover
Now I discover I was unwise
My true love fooled me completely
Spoke to me sweetly, nothin' but lies

I could run to his arms, but it just wouldn't last
To give in to his charms would be courting disaster
Lightning struck, ooh, what a feeling
That's when the ceiling fell from above
Why is it just my luck to be in love
