Oingo Boingo - Better Luck Next Time Lyrics
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
Gray is for betrayal
What you did to me
That I know I'll never see—know I'll never see
Found you in the gutter
You needed tenderness
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all my trust
Handed out so neatly
Caught me in your trap
When I needed you the most
You stab me in the back—stab me in the back
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once, there'll never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else; you're never gonna be mine
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to my face?
How do you find the nerve?
Black is for the nighttime
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
I try and find excuses
For what you did to me
Can't forget that burning rage
When I wake up thinking of your face
For the blinding swiftness of revenge
That I know I'll never see—know I'll never see
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once, there'll never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else; you're never gonna be mine
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to my face?
How did you find the nerve?
Better luck, better luck
Better luck next time

cool film...remember it well...brings back so many 80s memories :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO8yIwFEAuQ&lc=z234d5r5okmyene4m04t1aokgr2pilpq2oyyt4mg33olbk0h00410 check out my guitar cover of this classic
Beta male anthem
Does anyone know why this song isn’t on any streaming apps?
I love finding “new”songs from bands you’ve listed to for years 💕
You fucked Karen?
I know y'all here from the movie. But real talk, is this a JoJo reference?
o último americano virgem
Gary got fucked Over worse than anyone in movie history.
Gary was such a douche
Gary's theme song "Better Luck Next Time".LOL
Kek yes
Fr lol I had to make a cover after watching it for the umpteenth time if you wanna check that out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO8yIwFEAuQ&lc=z234d5r5okmyene4m04t1aokgr2pilpq2oyyt4mg33olbk0h00410
Yup poor guy
You know Rick. He's on em like flies to shit.
Funny how the supposed 'hot tough guy' Rick who wins the girl in real life was Music Mogul David Geffen's real life boyfriend! He's been out of the closet now for years and his sister Robin Antin created "The Pussycat Dolls"...
The actor who played Gary is also gay
I hope Gary came back with a shotgun...
R Pro. Gary is a beta
and shooting up schools is what beta virgins do lol
"You and me are going on a car ride to hell, Karen..."
John Citizen your mom goes to college.
the best song ..
better luck better luck better luck next time ... IS GOOD
HQ? I sure hope the CD edition I bought on eBay sounds better than this. Someone else posted this back in 2007 and it doesn't sound any worse than this one.
For the blinding swiftness of revenge
That I know I'll never see, know I'll never see........ That fucken sux Gary should of got revenge for getting fucked over
How do you find the nerve??
We should have known with this song playing earlier in the movie that when Gary walked into the party at the end what was coming next
someone tell me more movies like this one please!
Giant Robot I just saw rivers edge because I saw this comment, and it was NOTHING like the last American Virgin haha, I expected to see a comedy but that immediately faded away within the first five minutes of the film. It was a really great movie though.
The Last American Virgin is a remake of Lemon Popsicle a Bollywood film based in the fifties. The lemon Popsicle is a whole series of movies. I suggest any fan check them out.
“Better off dead” also has Diane Franklin (Karen). Is also from the 80s. And is a classic. Great soundtrack
@ProgrammingFlaw 3489 Don't you mean Up the Creek? Gary was in that one.
Watch the sound of music. Or the wizard of oz
I love THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN...people get pissed off with the ending whenever I show it to friends who don't know what's gonna happen... that's why I love it...I tell them, love isn't always gonna be a happy ending for all and it sucked being a teenager pining over the girl who blew you off! :(
saddest movie ever made...
mexicancomic13 well said ;)
People aren't "pissed at the ending" for the film ending that way at all, they're pissed at Karen, but praise the ending for being realistic. Big difference.
@Steven Fallon Good observation
@Steven Fallon Karen should not have kissed Gary. Gave him the wrong idea that she and him might work out. I hope Rick the Dick knocked her up again and ran off on her, she was stupid for getting back with him. I can understand her not having feelings for Gary, you can't force yourself to love someone, but damn... to get back with Rick after he took her virginity, knocked her up and dumped her? Stupid.
Gary got so fucked over !!!!
R Pro. Its been over 30 years and i'm still pissed about this! Fkn bitch! Fk u Karen!
$50 each...Or Ruby Walks
+Eduardo Castillo It was $30 each
Ah well, Come on Fat-Ass, You're next.
The lyrics are so fucking valid!
wtf VyktahD

PHilip Murray you know he's Gay in real life?....didn't see that coming. Lol
Ulises Rodriguez yes the over- acting friend of gary. The blondo.

@Ulises Rodriguez both of them are gay in real life.
"you'll regret this! you'll regret this gary MAAAAN!!"
from the movie...."You F**KED Karen 9 times?????? lmaooo
@Joe Gruss lolll
Haha no they were talking about Ruby, the prostitute when Rick couldn't get the keys to Gary's grandmother's house. So they decided to go see Ruby instead.
9 times?!?!?!
"You screwed her 9 times". Referring to the hooker. Movie: Last American Virgin.
😂😂😂😂
+iiCamaxtli Your too busy teeny boppin with Karen !
Karen's such a bitch
Música da festinha do filme "O Último Americano Virgem".
