the lucky one taylor s version

Taylor Swift

New to town with a made up name
In the angel s city, chasing fortune and fame
And the camera flashes make it look like a dream
You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So overnight, you look like a sixties queen

Another name goes up in lights
Like diamonds in the sky

And they ll tell you now, you re the lucky one
Yeah, they ll tell you now, you re the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you re the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh

Now, it s big black cars and Riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn t even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
And they tell you that you re lucky, but you re so confused
Cause you don t feel pretty, you just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place

Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you ll make it out alive

And they ll tell you now, you re the lucky one
Yeah, they ll tell you now, you re the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you re the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It was a few years later, I showed up here
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the rose garden over Madison Square
And it took some time, but I understand it now

Cause now my name is up in lights
But I think you got it right

Let me tell you now, you re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, they ll tell you now, you re the lucky one
Yeah, they ll tell you now, you re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
