Oingo Boingo - Better Luck Next Time lyrics

Black is for the nighttime

Preys upon the day

Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins

Gray is for betrayal

What you did to me

White is for the blinding light

That I know I'll never see, know I'll never see

Found you in the gutter

You needed tenderness

I gave you everything I had

I gave you all my trust

Handed out so neatly

Caught me in your trap

When I needed you the most

You stab me in the back, stab me in the back

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time

If you do it once there'll never be a second time

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time

Find somebody else, you're never gonna be mine

How do you find the nerve

To lie right to me face

How do you find the nerve

Black is for the nighttime

Preys upon the day

Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins

I try and find excuses

For what you did to me

Can't forget that burning rage

When I wake up thinking of your face

For the blinding swiftness of revenge

That I know I'll never see, know I'll never see

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time

If you do it once there'll never be a second time

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time

Find somebody else, you're never gonna be mine

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)

How do you find the nerve

To lie right to me face

How did you find the nerve

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)

Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
