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
