Maxi Priest - Some Guys Have All The Luck

Album - Maxi Priest
Release Date - 1988
Label: 10 Records Ltd / Virgin Records America Inc
Lyrics:
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work I'm day-dreaming
The guy next to me has his woman on his arm, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the woman that you love says yes she loves you
It seems unfair when there's love everywhere and yet there's none for you
(Chorus)
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives
My life is always filled with rain
Someone to take on a walk down by the lake, dear lord let her be
Someone who shouts, someone who is liable to cry at sad movies Uh~
I do believe I will die
Just to look in her eyes and find them filled with me Oh~
But you're just a dream and as real as it seems, I'm not that lucky
(Chorus)
Oh~
It's just a losing game, things have got to change
Some girl will give my love a try
With my love her arms will open wide
(Chorus)
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work I'm day-dreaming
It seems unfair when there's love everywhere and yet there's none for you
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives
My life is always filled with rain (fade...)

[@thelearningshop6798]

When I was young , I use to be coming home from work on the bus, I was so lonely back then because I thought I wasn’t handsome , and I was probably a bit shy. I use to sing this song in my head , feeling sorry for myself and thinking about the girl I was in love with . However she didn’t like me because she thought I was financially unstable. One day... the table seem to turn . You wouldn’t believe what happened.....to be continued.... part2 continued She started to develop feelings for me after hanging out with me for about 2 months. however, our relationship never got seriously intimate until the 3rd month when spring time made its way in and the flowers started to bloom, which reminded me of her sweet blossoming face. ........I was on summer break at the time, still in college. when she told me that she is going to look for her uncle in... ........to be continued
