Lyrics
Just Dumb Luck
Verse:
I like you how you are
I wouldn't change a thing
Could be a TV star
I know that ain't your thing
Don't need to talk salon
Don't need no shoppin' spree
Whatever you put on
You're lookin' good to me
It's a funny thing how we first met
You moved in when I was two and a half
Played together every day
You kept me smilin'
Chorus:
Married the girl next door
didn't have a clue
she'd turn out to be anything like you
I love the way you act
I love the things you do
It's just dumb luck
[it's just dumb luck]
That I got to marry you
[just dumb luck]
Just dumb luck (spoken)
Verse:
Before we even got past junior high
You were gettin' stares
from every single guy
I was affraid to ask
and you wouldn't say
If you could ever like me in that way
Then one day you caught me
starin' at your hips
You turned around
and planted a big one on my lips
It was the best day of my life
And, I'm still smilin'
Chorus:
Married the girl next door
didn't have a clue
She'd turn out to by anything like you
I love the way you act
I live the things you do
It's just dumb luck
[It's just dumb luck]
I got to marry you
[ just dumb luck]
Still don't know (spoken)
[just dumb luck]
Bridge:
There isn't anything I know
[there isn't anything I know]
That could adorn the like of you
You couldn't have more class
in Tiffany's or Sak's Fifth Avenue
Instrumental:
Chorus
Married the girl next door
didn't have a clue
She'd turn out to by anything like you
I love the way you act
I live the things you do
It's just dumb luck
[It's just dumb luck]
I got to marry you
[ just dumb luck]
Just dumb luck
[just dumb luck]
Qutro:
Married the girl next door
didn't have a clue
She'd turn out to by anything like you
I love the way you act
I live the things you do
It's just dumb luck
[It's just dumb luck]
I got to marry you
[ just dumb luck]
Just dumb luck
[just dumb luck]
I got to marry you
[ just dumb luck]
[just dumb luck]
The boy next door
[just dumb luck]
Just dumb luck
[just dumb luck]
Yeah I can't believe
[just dumb luck]
I got to marry you
