Lucky Kid Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna take you down to the river
I wanna wash the blood from your hands
I wanna make you see, you belong to me
And you won't ever win
I wanna walk out over the water
I wanna tear my heart from my chest
I wanna change my face
Wanna leave this place
Start all over again
Well, don't you know

[Chorus]
You're wasted
Got more than you asked for
Wasted
You're in through the out door
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted

[Verse 2]
I wanna turn you into a Corvette
I wanna drive you out of your mind
I wanna watch your face
When you reach that place
That you could never find
I wanna make you scream for mercy
I wanna break the silence within
And take you to your knees
Just like you did me
And crawl around in your skin
Oh, don't you know
[Chorus]
Wasted
Got more than you asked for
Wasted
You're out through the in door
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Wasted
Got more than you asked for
Wasted
You went in through the out door
You tasted
What you never had before
You wasted
Everything and now you're such a bore
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, 'cause I know what you did
Wasted
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, you're a lucky kid
[Outro]
I got your number
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you get away with it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Lucky Kid” was the first song created for the album. The vague lyrics appear to be about someone who did something bad to her, with Sheryl claiming him to be a lucky kid because he got away with it unscathed without anyone finding out.
