  • Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain

    Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming
    The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
    How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
    Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me

    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain
    Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo

    Someone to take on a walk by the lake Lord, let it be me
    Someone who's shy, someone who'd cry at sad movies
    I know I would die if I ever found out she was foolin' me
    You're just a dream, and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky

    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain

    All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
    Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one
    The car overheated, I called up and pleaded, there's help on the way
    I called you collect, you didn't accept, you had nothing to say

    Some guys have all the luck
    Some guys have all the pain
    Some guys get all the breaks
    Some guys do nothing but complain

    But if you were here with me
    I'd feel so happy, I could cry
    You are so dear to me
    I just can't let you say goodbye
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo, Woo woo woo Writer/s: JEFF FORTGANG

  • Raymond (maverick) Bernardini from New Haven Ct.Some of Jeff’s recollection is not accurate. My band PARTY did the Demo (Some Guys Have All The Luck) with Jeff Fortgang at a basement studio in Shelton Connecticut back in 1973. Marty Kugell was our manager and was there as well.
