Song of the Day - Lucky - Donna Summer

I said the other day when I posted Donna Summer's Love to Love You Baby that I might just post another or two of her songs in the coming days.  Well, here's one I never thought I'd post, but I personally love it so much I just want to share it.  Lucky was a non-single included on Donna's monumental Bad Girls album of 1979 and it dispels any sort of claim that disco music was mindless.  This song combines a masterfully orchestrated dance track with some pretty sad lyrics...a lonely, yet naive girl who's looking for love, but only seems to find the wrong kinds of love.  Check out the lyrics below as you crank up the volume on this one, and if you don't like it then there's something seriously wrong with you!  (I'm just kidding, lol...but it is soooo good!).  Here's Lucky...  

Scared and lonely

Going out for the night

Shakin' all over

And wishing I'd never

Come here

He pulled up in a cloud of smoke

So much was said

But nobody spoke a word

So I took a chance

And he followed me home

I knew he wouldn't beg

So I gave in without fighting

Been so long since I've been this way

Since I loved this way

So I asked him if he would stay for a while

Lucky comes easy

Lucky's not shy

And if you're lucky

You'll go for a ride

For a ride

We talked a while

And he told me nice

We laughed and we cried and

I knew that I could love him

He got up to say goodbye

I said where you going,

He said that he must leave

Lucky comes easy

Lucky's not shy

And if you're lucky

You'll go for a ride

For a ride

Lucky comes easy

Lucky's not shy

And if you're lucky

You'll go for a ride

For a ride

Lucky takes you out for a ride

For a ride

Lucky takes you out for a ride

For a ride

Lucky comes easy

Lucky's not shy

And if you're lucky

You'll go for a ride

Lucky come easy

Lucky's not shy

And if you're lucky

You'll go for a ride

For a ride
