First there was Harry, I thought we d get married
Get a house, settle down, have a couple of kids
Took ill on the Sunday and died by the Monday
Tuesday they nailed down the lid
His first cousin Sammy flew in from Miami
To give me a shoulder on which I could cry
I was nearly a sinner til one night at dinner
He choked on my mom s apple pie
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it but when push comes to shove
I guess I m unlucky in love
Johnny came later, a smooth operator
He fixed up the barn and he swept me away
Spontaneous combustion made quite a reduction
To any love made in the hay
For days I was grieving until I met Steven
Who worked for the Salvation Army in town
But God gives diseases to whoever he pleases
And Steven s with Jesus right now
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it but when push comes to shove
I guess I m unlucky in love
Timmy and Trevor had a car crash together
And Jack had a heart attack mowing the lawn
And then they found David with his head amputated
And they re still out looking for Sean
I guess it s quite clear male genitalia
Has never been more than unlucky to me
So now I m surviving because I m muff-diving
I d like y all to meet Anne-Marie
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it but when push comes to shove
I guess I m unlucky in love
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it but when push comes to shove
I guess I m unlucky in love
