"Some Guys Have All the Luck" is a song written by Jeff Fortgang (often misspelled "Fortang"), which has been a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 twice, first by The Persuaders in 1973 (reaching No.39), then by Rod Stewart in 1984, whose version hit No.10. Stewart's version incorporates a vocal refrain from "Ain't Got No Home" by Clarence "Frogman" Henry. Other artists who have recorded this song include Robert Palmer (UK #16 in 1982), whose version had a significantly altered melody and lyrics. After Palmer's death, Rod Stewart began using the Palmer-style arrangement in live concerts.
"Some Guys Have All The Luck" [Lyrics]
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work
and I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
My arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you
says she loves you
It seem so unfair when there's love everywhere
but there's none for me
Someone to take on a walk by the lake
Lord let it be me
Someone who's shy
Someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out
she was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems
I ain't that lucky
All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They have someone
Someone to care for them it ain't fair
I got no one
The car overheated
I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you collect you didn't accept
You had nothing to say
But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye
