This was a pleasant little 80’s ditty by the JoBoxers. Here’s a brief description from their official site:
The JoBoxers appeared on the music scene in 1982 as a live band of musicians at a time when British music was mostly production-driven. A natural club sound, based on driving bass (Chris Bostock), jazz-style guitar (Robert Marche), strident piano (Dave Collard) and rock-steady drums (Sean McLusky), was enhanced by a no-nonsense singing style by group wordsmith Dig Wayne.
JoBoxers music was revitalized in 2005 as a result of their hit Just Got Lucky being featured in the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin and again in 2006, as the opening track for the movie ‘Just My Luck’ featuring Lindsay Lohan.
This particular tune is a frothy piece of well-crafted pop music, with a nice 60’s style R&B vibe. It’s tremendously listenable, and still stands up today.
Here’s the lyrics:
Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it’s the beat I seek
And I found it
just got lucky - yes
I found it
just got lucky.
I never worry that your love is fake
I’m free and easy and I’m feeling jake
’cause
I found it
just got lucky
Oh boy
I found it
just got lucky
’cause I newver felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin’ for more.
I’ve been fooled by love so many times.
I gave up on all the silly rhymes.
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door
no key was cut that was the fit
Now I’m such a very lucky guy.
Gangway
on side now
come on
hear me say:
We found the answer and it’s plain to see - come on hear me say
That I’m for you and you’re for me
’cause we found it
just got lucky
Together we found it
just got lucky.
I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky’s the limit with a love like this
’cause we’ve found it
just got lucky
Together we found it
just got lucky
’cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin’ for more.
I’ve been fooled by love so many times. . . .
We found the answer and it’s plain to see - come on hear me say. .
I feel a quiver every time we kiss. . .
I’ve been fooled by love so many times. . . .
Come on hear me say
come on hear me say
Just got lucky
just got lucky
Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it’s the beat I seek
And I found it
just got lucky -
Oh boy
I found it
just got lucky
’cause I never felt this way before.
Just got lucky
just got lucky
just got lucky
