Tough Luck Lyrics - The Wilkinsons

(Steve Wilkinson/William Wallace) 

She never planned on 

The life she got 

Married young 

And then she just got caught 

Years fly by 

When you're raising kids 

She's just a carbon copy 

Of what her momma did 

She was a perfect picture 

Of a perfect wife 

Out of focus 

In her perfect life 

So safe, so warm 

No hint of danger 

Wasting years 

With the perfect stranger 

But though luck's 

The only luck she's known 

And tough luck 

To build your life on hope 

(Oh) But she bought the deal 

She made the vow 

She'd walk away 

But she's just too proud 

To ever throw in the towel 

Tough luck 

Convinced herself 

That life made perfect sense 

Two-car garage 

And a while picket fence 

Sometimes she feels 

Like such a hypocrite 

She's just a face in the portrait 

And that's about it 

But though luck's 

The only luck she's known 

And tough luck 

To build your life on hope 

(Oh) But she bought the deal 

She made the vow 

She'd walk away 

But she's just too proud 

To ever throw in the towel 

Tough luck
