Verse 1
Daisy's bare naked, I was distraughtHe loves me not, he loves me notPenny's unlucky, I took him backAnd then stepped on a crack and the black cat laughedPre-Chorus
And, baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine (Ah)Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luckA bad sign is all good, I ain't gotta knock on woodChorus
(Ah) All of that bitchin', wishing on a falling starNever did me any good, I ain't got to knock on wood(Ah) It's you and me forever dancing in the darkAll over me, it's understood, I ain't got to knock on woodPost-Chorus
Forgive me, it sounds cockyHe ah-matized me and opened my eyesRedwood tree, it ain't hard to seeHis love was the key that opened my thighsVerse 2
Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mmTo know a hard rock is on the wayPre-Chorus
And, baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (Ah)Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luckNew Heights (New Heights) of manhood (Manhood), I ain't gotta knock on woodChorus
(Ah) All of that bitchin', wishing on a falling starNever did me any good, I ain't got to knock on wood(Ah) It's you and me forever dancing in the darkAll over me, it's understood, I ain't got to knock on woodPost-Chorus
Forgive me, it sounds cockyHe ah-matized me and opened my eyesRedwood tree, it ain't hard to seeHis love was the key that opened my thighsForgive me, it sounds cockyHe ah-matized me and opened my eyesRedwood tree, it ain't hard to seeHis love was the key that opened my thighsWhat the song means
