[Chorus]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Verse 1]
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work and I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
It seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me
[Chorus]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Verse 2]
Someone to take on a walk by the lake, Lord, let it be me
Someone who's shy, someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out she was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky
[Chorus]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Verse 3]
All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one
The car overheated, I called up and pleaded, there's help on the way
I called you collect, you didn't accept, you had nothing to say
[Chorus]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Outro]
But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Verse 1]
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work and I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
It seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me
[Chorus]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Verse 2]
Someone to take on a walk by the lake, Lord, let it be me
Someone who's shy, someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out she was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky
[Chorus]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
[Verse 3]
All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain

But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye
