Lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, I was such a lucky lady
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby, you know you’re a lucky lady, you lucky lady

Lucky lady, that’s what I was, I was lucky to have his love
All a woman could wish for, he was that and so much more
He was mine and how I loved him before your hands ever touched him
Long before your temping eyes lured my baby from my life

Hey, hey, Lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby, you know you’re a lucky lady
Lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, you know you’re a lucky lady, you lucky lady

Is it love or is it pleasure, do you know you’ve found a treasure
Are you only having fun, do you know the prize you’ve won?
If you don’t want something lasting, if it’s just the time you’re passing
Lucky lady, give him up ’cause I do love him very much

Lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, I was such a lucky lady
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby, you know you’re a lucky lady, you lucky lady

Hey, hey, Lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby, you know you’re a lucky lady
