Bad Luck Charm - Old 97's

Kill the bottle and build a fire

Watch the flames lick the telephone wire

You knew I was trouble from the start

Know-it-all, yeah, you should have known better

Baby I’m bad right down to the letter

You spent too much time gambling with your heart

If you cross your fingers

You can hang me on your arm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

You were looking for love last night

I was looking for a light

I never am where I’m supposed to be

You might think I’m a hell of a catch

But lightin' my fire’s like three on a match

It’s between the devil and you and me

If you cross your fingers

You can hang me on your arm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

Could you please believe

I didn’t mean to do no harm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

If you cross your fingers

You can hang me on your arm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

How’d I end up tangled in your feet?

When I’m just another black cat

Crossing your street

If you cross your fingers

You can hang me on your arm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

Could you please believe

I didn’t mean to do no harm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm

Baby, I’m a bad luck charm
