It was fateful timing What a messed up state I was in Only just surviving Feeding on helpless hearts to feel good again
But you’ve got a heart made of gold Just like the one that I’d pawned off You’ve got a light that’s colorful Like one I’d burned out before I never slipped no one a twenty Never conned nobody Never took the shortcut Or picked a pocket Or forced a hand to lose So how the hell did I get you?
Well, I did some hiding Only letting you see What I could give for free Til it hit like lightning Baby, you were rich Richer than I’d ever be
But you’ve got a heart made of gold Just like the one that I’d pawned off You’ve got a light that’s colorful Like one I’d burned out before I never slipped no one a twenty Never conned nobody Never took the shortcut Or picked a pocket Or forced a hand to lose So how the hell did I get you?
I know I don’t deserve you, no But somehow luck just came through
I never slipped no one a twenty Never conned nobody Never took the shortcut Or picked a pocket Or forced a hand to lose I never held no one for ransom Never begged for second chances Never faked a fortune Or cheated cupid Or lied about the truth So how the hell did I get you?
