Old 97's – Bad Luck Charm lyrics
[Verse]
Kill the bottle and build a fire
Watch the flames lick the telephone wire
You knew I was trouble from the start
Know-it-all, yeah, you should have known better
Baby I'm bad right down to the letter
You spent too much time gambling with your heart
[Chorus]
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
[Verse]
You were looking for love last night
I was looking for a light
I never am where I'm supposed to be
You might think I'm a hell of a catch
But lightin' my fire's like three on a match
It's between the devil and you and me
[Chorus]
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Could you please believe
I didn't mean to do no harm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
[Bridge]
How'd I end up tangled in your feet?
When I'm just another black cat
Crossing your street
[Chorus]
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Could you please believe
I didn't mean to do no harm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Kill the bottle and build a fire
Watch the flames lick the telephone wire
You knew I was trouble from the start
Know-it-all, yeah, you should have known better
Baby I'm bad right down to the letter
You spent too much time gambling with your heart
[Chorus]
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
[Verse]
You were looking for love last night
I was looking for a light
I never am where I'm supposed to be
You might think I'm a hell of a catch
But lightin' my fire's like three on a match
It's between the devil and you and me
[Chorus]
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Could you please believe
I didn't mean to do no harm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
[Bridge]
How'd I end up tangled in your feet?
When I'm just another black cat
Crossing your street
[Chorus]
If you cross your fingers
You can hang me on your arm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Could you please believe
I didn't mean to do no harm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
Baby, I'm a bad luck charm
