Taylor Swift - The Lucky One Lyrics






New to town with a made up name in the angel's city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream.

You had it figured out since you were in school.
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool.
So overnight you look like a sixties’ queen.

Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
But can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh...

Now it’s big black cars, and Riviera views,
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page.

And they tell you that you’re lucky.
But you’re so confused,
'Cause you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used.
And all the young things line up to take your place.

Another name goes up in lights. You wonder if you’ll make it out alive.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

It was a few years later, I showed up here.
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared,
How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out.
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere,
Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square,
And it took some time, but I understand it now.

‘Cause now my name is up in lights, but I think you got it right,

Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

Yeah they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh

    One cannot copyright a song title (or a book or movie title for that matter), so this has the same title as RL Castleman's song for Alison Krauss from her 2001 album "New Favorite".

  32. L.... S....

    Evelyn Hugo....

    L.... S....

    omg yes

  33. G.... M....

    I’m here bc I’m not giving Sc**ter any money

  34. D.... C....

    This song is about Taylor herself. The lyrics speak for themselves. Some of them

  35. Z.... R....

    Always choose the Rose garden Over Madison square
    You may have a smaller car, but you will have a bigger smile
    Do what you enjoy best, without hurting anyone on purpose
    And if you fail to be the no. 1,
    Always remember that there is the no. 2 spot, and that aint too bad at all :)

  36. C.... _....

    My dad and I used to jam out in the car to this song everyday when I was like 10. I didn’t have a care in the world and definitely didn’t know how fast the next six years would go by. Now I’ll be a junior in high school and sometimes I still turn on the song in the car and my dad and I do it all again, just like when I was only 10 years old.

  37. H.... T....

    Taylor sings lucky 13 times in this song!!

  38. b.... e....

    13 lucky ? Hmm

  39. I.... Q....

  41. g.... b....

    being a celebrity isn't as easy as it seems

  42. D.... D....

    It's about Marilyn Monroe

  43. D.... D....

    It's about Marilyn Monroe

  44. D.... W....

    She descibes the celebrity world perfectly, such a great songwriter

  45. m.... ....

    This is a good message that we may think famous people are the "lucky ones" because of all the money and fame -- but some celebs say otherwise.

  46. e.... ....

    she said luck 13 timessss!!! 13 is taylor's lucky number:)

  47. Z.... S....

    We need the old tay back cuz with her music came real meaning and feeling

  48. G.... L....

    I  HAVEN'T HEARD THIS  SONG MUCH,  WOW YOU  YOU   CAN  PUT  LONG  STORIES  INTO  MUSIC .   HEY  TAYLOR ,   I  SAW  YOU   ON   THOSE  OLD  ELLEN SHOW  INTERVIEWS.   I  THINK  ELLEN  IS  SO  TURNED  ON  BEING  IN  FRONT  OF  YOU  .  IT'S  LIKE  FLIRTY  GUY  INTERVIEWING  YOU .   BUT  ELLEN  IS  ABLE TO CONTROL  HERSELF.  (TO  ASK  FOR  CELL PHONE NUMBER  OR SOMETHING )..  YOUR  PRETTIEST  I  ALMOST  JUMP  OUT OF  MY  CHAIR.  HEY TAYLOR,  I SAW  A PARIS HILTON MOVIE CLIP  SHE  FLIRTS  WITH  A  SMALL YOUNG TEENAGER  HE MIGHT BE 18  BUT HE IS  SHORT ,  YOU  WOULD LAUGH IF YOU SAW  THE  CLIP.    LATER YOUR  FAN  GEORGE

  49. A.... H....

  52. S.... O....

    Taylor: "And your Secret Santa splashed on the news front page"
    Me: Omg so celebs can't even play secret Santa game


    I now realise my mistake

  53. A.... R....

    Underrated

  54. �.... T....

    Bu şarkı Taylor Swift'in kendi youtube kanalında yok?

  55. C.... N....

    This song would had a good music video

  56. A.... e....

    She’s absolutely an artist. Nothing less ❤️

  57. T.... S....

    When I was 9, I was obsessed with this song and I thought it was about Jackie Kennedy

  58. E.... E....

    Take time to read to know the song.
    A girl named Norma Jean Mortenson, aka ‘MARILYN MONROE’ went to angels’ city which Is New York city to chase fortune and fame. The rest of the line talks about Marilyn’s perspective and situation.
    Then chorus (you’ll know later why)
    big black cars and riviera views (taylor talks about Madison Square garden) On kennedy’s bday she sang happy birthday, that was marilyn most iconic performance as a sex symbol, kennedy is watching from under the stage (that why taylor used the term ‘foyer’) after that Kennedy denied the rumor of them two having an affair. The next day is was on the newspaper front page!
    Since kennedy denied, she was devastated, well before everything, no one can be compared to Marilyn at that time right? Until kennedy became president and the world met his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy the most beautiful of all. She was the ‘another name goes up in lights’ on the song.after some time, there was a rumor that Robert Kennedy went to Marilyn’s house to her give her money and end all the connections she have with the president. SHE TOOK THE MONEY, 2 days after she was found dead. But no one knows exactly why, About the next line in the song, it was beacuse Marilyn was ready to give up her actress life and be as a first lady (it was proven by her bestfriend who was interviewd at the 1990’s I think already that Marilyn really did assume The president is gonna divoce Jacqueline and marry her and be the new 1st lady) THAT WHY TAYLOR SAID ‘Chose the Rose garden over madison square’ her sexiest hollywood performance happend in madison, but chose the rose garden ( A garden originally for the first lady in the White House) It took some time to taylor to understand her choices, but now she does, because she is now in the same place, same Spotlight, and its really hard, still she calls marilyn ‘the lucky one’ .taylor adores marilyn, even copied her in the wildest dreams mv

  59. E.... E....

    EVERY SENTENCE OF THIS SONG IS ABOUT MARILYN MONROE.

  60. E.... E....

    This song is 100% about Marilyn Monroe

  61. S.... ....

    I'm here in 2019, a year and a half after reputation and 7 years after this. Missing the old Taylor but it's the end of her career anyway and she knows it.

    S.... ....

    It isn't the end rn

    S.... ....

    Spottedleaf not quite

  62. S.... D....

    13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13

  63. L.... T....

    Who else loves Taylor Swift she's such a great singer.

  64. H.... M....

  68. b.... s....

    Barış ÖZCAN...

  69. M.... P....

    Being a Celebrity may sound fun but it's not
    Look at Taylor Swift. Peasant Haters and Media has always troubled her. It's her life and it's her choice to date guys. We have no right to judge her

  70. M.... M....

    This song pertained to me a lot. Back then I was one of the most popular guys in my hometown. I was the epitome of the guy everyone wanted to be around. Then, I got depressed. Severely. I felt trapped. I attempted suicide twice and left seven years ago for college in Paris. A few years later, I realized that I was indeed, the lucky one.

  71. L.... C....

    I cried
    😭

  72. d.... ....

    how i miss this song...cant believe its already 6 years since it released...2012 days 💕💕

  73. E.... W....

    This is my favorite Taylor Swift song

  74. B.... ....

    The fact that this haven;t been taken down amazes me

  75. N.... 2....

    Idk why but this song really felt different with other ts songs (on a way that it's still amazing)

  76. A.... C....

    0:13 Bişey değil :)

  77. N.... 2....

    The song's uniqueness between other taylor swift song really makes it stand out <3

  78. T.... S....

    This song is a song I would listen to every time . Love you Taylor . You have the best songs . you have the best voice . You are so beautiful. Please never stop singing . You are my queen . I always listen to your songs . You are the best person I know. You are my inspiration . Swiftie forever.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  79. A.... M....

    I think it’s a response to britney’s lucky

  80. L.... G....

    This is about her and other celebrities how we think their the lucky ones but we are we get to do whatever we want and no one cares if they make one wrong move it shows up everywhere their always being watched think about it somehow we are the lucky ones
