Jarreau, Al - Murphy's Law Lyrics






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 alone 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

[CHORUS:]
'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 something must be 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

[CHORUS:]
You're the only luck I need...
...You're the only luck I need
You make Murphy tell and show
You're the only luck I need...
...You're the only luck I need
To make old Murphy pass my door

If it works don't fix it
The winner takes all
You know it's the Murphy fiction
That's due for a fall

[CHORUS:]

  1. D.... N....

    Thank you Al Jarreau for your INSPIRATION. 🎵💎🎶🎩

  2. g.... ....

    For my wife and me Al songs are still the soundtrack of our marriage... In our mind he is still with us...

  3. J.... R....

    One of his best songs. It's still valid nearly forty years after the album was released.

  4. B.... B....

    Grande Al Jarreau. Il tempo passa, la sua musica incanta ancora.

  5. C.... D....

    So glad and smooth happy song

  6. M.... L....

    Such a fine song - one of the catchiest melodies you'll ever hear, Al's predictably brilliant vocal, a superb groove and that beautiful bridge with the french horn taking it all back to the chorus is mesmerizing. A true gem.

  7. R.... S....

    Southern University Human jukebox brought me here.

  8. J.... R....

    Perhaps the best song on the album.

  9. K.... W....

    Al Jarreau's Murphy's Law song is a classic. High Crime album is a classic. I like the album pictures. RIP Al Jarreau. I miss you. I love Al Jarreau.

  10. J.... B....

    RIP music AL JaRReau😢

  11. d.... ....

    R.I.P. One of my favorites!!!!!!!

  12. A.... T....

    One of my favorite all time songs!

  13. C.... B....

    I need you
    I want you
    Been alone 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 something must be 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

    Mmm... Now don't be superstitious baby...

    [Piccolo trumpet solo]

    If it works don't fix it
    The winner takes all
    You know it's the Murphy fiction
    That's due for a fall

    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 the Murphys pass my door...

  14. w.... L....
