CHORUS I never though this could happen to me It always happens to somebody else I never thought this could happen to me It always happens to somebody else It always happens to somebody else Polished my rusty horse shoe for my lucky charm And thanked my lucky stars Thanked my lucky stars In my back pocket Mr. Saint Christopher is watchin' over me Is watchin' over me And everything is coming up roses Everything's blooming CHORUS I used to try hard, cry a lot, die a little everyday When the world got in the way World got in the way Now I'm wiser, stronger, life's falling into place That's the way its gonna stay That's the way its gonna stay And everything is coming up roses Everything's changed CHORUS Nobody knows what the want till they get it I never thought this could happen to me It always happens to somebody else It like I want this violently It likes it happens to somebody else It like it happens to somebody else
