How the Hell Michael’s Song by Emily Hackett Lyrics

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 twenty
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
Richer than I’d ever be
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 twenty
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?

I know I don’t deserve you, no
But somehow luck just came through

I never slipped no one a twenty
Never conned nobody
Never took the shortcut
Or picked a pocket
Or forced a hand to lose
I never held no one for ransom
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?
