The Lucky One Lyrics - Taylor Swift

1 New to town with a made-up name,

2 In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame

3 And the camera flashes make it look like a dream

4 You had it figured out since you were in school

5 Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool

6 So overnight you look like a sixties queen

7 Another name goes up in lights

8 Like diamonds in the sky

9 And they’ll tell you now

10 You’re the lucky one

11 Yeah, they tell you now

12 You’re the lucky one

13 But can you tell me now

14 You’re the lucky one?

15 Oh, oh, oh

16 Now it’s big black cars and Riviera views

17 And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you

18 And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

19 And they tell you that you're lucky but you're so confused

20 'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used

21 And all the young things line up to take your place

22 Another name goes up in lights

23 You wonder if you’ll make it out alive

24 And they’ll tell you now

25 You’re the lucky one

26 Yeah, they'll tell you now

27 You’re the lucky one

28 Can you tell me now

29 You’re the lucky one?

30 Oh, oh, oh

31 Oh, oh, oh

32 It was a few years later I showed up here

33 And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared

34 How you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out

35 They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

36 Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square

37 And it took some time but I understand it now

38 ‘Cause now my name is up in lights

39 But I think you got it right

40 Let me tell you now

41 You’re the lucky one

42 Let me tell you now

43 You’re the lucky one

44 Let me tell you now

45 You’re the lucky one

46 Oh, oh, oh

47 Yeah, they'll tell you now

48 You’re the lucky one

49 Yeah, they'll tell you now

50 You’re the lucky one

51 Can you tell me now

52 You’re the lucky one?

53 Oh, oh, oh

54 Oh, oh, oh

55 Oh, oh, oh
