Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm used to misfortune, baby
Used to the bitter end
I'm used to trials and troubles
'Cause I never had a friend
[Verse 2]
A bad luck
Well, well, bad luck
Well, I'm used to trials and troubles
And bad luck don't bother me
[Verse 3]
I'm used to takin' beatin's
Used to bein' alone
Used to bein' mistreated
With nobody to call my own
[Verse 4]
Bad luck
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, bad luck
Yes, I'm used to being mistreated
And bad luck don't bother me
[Verse 5]
I'm used to being broke
Used to being sad
I'm used to lousy folks
And I'm used to being mad
[Verse 6]
A bad luck
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, bad luck
Oh, bad luck and lousy people
No, no, no, they don't bother me
[Verse 7]
I've been taken for a fool
I've been taken for a square
Been used for a tool
And I've been told that I'm nowhere
[Verse 8]
Bad luck
Oh, oh, bad luck
Yeah, yeah, bad luck, back luck
No, no, it don't bother me
Right now I'm just a cool little fool
And bad luck don't bother me
