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
