Murphy's Law
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's too good, it's too right
So something must be wrong
It's a bubble that's gonna break
Says Murphy's Law
I need you, I want you
Been along too long
If it might miss, it's gonna miss
That's Murphy's Law
And the perfect fit just
Rubs my worry stone
But if it works, don't fix it
Ya leave it alone
'Cause you're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
To make Murphy pass my door
We put something on baby
Didn't we?, didn't we?
Didn't we?, didn't we?
It's so sweet, I repeat
That must be something wrong
If it might not
Then we must stop and talk about it
It's a work of fiction
They call it a law
But the contradiction
Is we fooled 'em all
You're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
You make Murphy tell and show
You're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
To make old Murphy pass my door
If it works, don't fix it
The winner takes it all
You know it's the Murphy fiction
That's due for a fall
