It was fateful timing What a messed up state I was in Only just surviving Feeding on helpless hearts to feel good again But you've got a heart made of gold Just like the one that I'd pawned off You've got a light that's colorful Like one I'd burned out before I never slipped no one a 20 I never conned nobody Never took the shortcut or picked a pocket or forced a hand to lose So how the hell did I get you? Well, I did some hiding Only letting you see What I could give for free 'Til it hit like lightning Baby, you were rich, yeah Richer than I'd ever be 'Cause you've got a heart made of gold Just like the one that I'd pawned off You've got a light that's colorful Like one I'd burned out before I never slipped no one a 20 I never conned nobody Never took the shortcut or picked a pocket or forced a hand to lose So how the hell did I get you? Baby, you, baby How the hell did I get you? Yeah-yeah I know I don't deserve you, no But somehow luck just came through I never slipped no one a 20 I never conned nobody Never took the shortcut or picked a pocket or forced a hand to lose I never held no one for ransom And never begged for second chances Never faked a fortune or cheated cupid or lied about the truth So how the hell did I get you? Yeah How did I, how did I, did I get you? Yeah, yeah, yeah
