  • Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain

    Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming
    The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
    How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
    Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me

    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain
    Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo

    Someone to take on a walk by the lake Lord, let it be me
    Someone who's shy, someone who'd cry at sad movies
    I know I would die if I ever found out she was foolin' me
    You're just a dream, and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky

    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain

    All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
    Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one
    The car overheated, I called up and pleaded, there's help on the way
    I called you collect, you didn't accept, you had nothing to say

    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain

    But if you were here with me
    I'd feel so happy, I could cry
    You are so dear to me
    I just can't let you say goodbye
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo

  • Laura from United Kingdomthere should be both sets of lyrics on this page so people can see the original against what Robert Palmer changed them to. here are Robert Palmers lyrics:-
    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys get all the fun
    Some guys have all the luck, all the luck
    Ooh, ooh, what you gonna do when your luck begins to run?
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Such a lucky dog it's good luck - push it
    Uh - I get turned on by everything you do to me
    Don't say you shouldn't do that
    Push your hard luck hard push it
    Oh, to take a kiss from lady luck tonight
    Oh yeah I want to so much
    Ooh the way it feels when you find out there's a pearl in it
    Girl the way it feels when you get it
    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys get all the fun
    Oh I get to hear you talk, see you walk
    Ooh, ooh take me in your arms and let your luck begin to run
    I touch you - alright
    I thought my luck had held until you fingered me
    We make a right impression when you hold me tight
    Wait for a break, my lucky charm
    Things are looking up alright - alright
    Oh - to taste the lips of lady luck tonight
    Oh yeah - I want to - so much
    Ooh the way it feels when you find out there's a pearl in it
    Girl the way you squeal when you get it
    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Oh I get to roll my dice - ain't it nice?
    Ooh take me in your kitchen and we'll play for higher stakes
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys get all the fun
    Oh I get to hear you talk, see you walk
    Ooh take me in your arms and let your luck begin to run
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
