The Lucky One (Taylor's Version)

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 '60s 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, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-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 Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
