He's got the best of me.
It's such a price to pay.
He's got the best of me.
See, I have been thinking it over.
It's all just a little too much.
You see I have got a four-leaf clover.
It's gotta bring a little luck.
Yeah, uh huh
Yeah, uh huh
So I let go of all of the big deals.
I let go of the bitter dream.
You see the girl in the pretty white picture.
Well it's never what it really seems.
Yeah, Oh,
uh huh
Yeah, uh huh
My mind is always racing,
And my body's on overload.
You've got my heart in the middle of a feeling.
I've got no place to go.
Yeah, Oh
uh huh
See, I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got a four-leaf clover
It's gotta bring a little luck
I'm running but I've got nowhere to be.
But I'm all right
Said I'm running, but it's got the best of me,
But it's all right.
Cause see, I've been thinking it over.
It's all just a little too much.
You see I've got a four-leaf clover.
It's gotta bring a little luck.
Yeah
Said I've been thinking it over.
Yeah
It's all just a little too much.
Yeah
You see I've got a four-leaf clover.
Yeah
It's gotta bring a little luck.
Yeah
Said, I've been thinking it over.
It's all just a little too much.
Said I've got a four leaf clover.
It's gotta bring a little luck.

| calypsus_1 (East of Eden) | Posted: Jul 29, 2012 - 10:44 It seems that we have here now "kind" of "discs orders," without wanting to seem. If this is the "lever" to present here new "singers", do not know where the playlist will stop. The eclectic also has limits. Why not too WAR TAPES, CHRISOPHER BLUE, SENSATION UNKIES, SHANEBARTELL, AIRPUSHERS, LISBETHSCOTT, TRACHTENBURG FAMILY SLIDESHOW PLAYERS, catalog sarathan records. Whether it is for disgrace, it is for disgrace. By this way, why not create a parallel "radio P.for teens & babysitter". |
| pmjett | Posted: Apr 25, 2012 - 08:58 Thanks Bill! I haven't heard this in forever. Sort of a summertime song, which is nice on this overcast, cool day! |
| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: Apr 25, 2012 - 08:53 I see that I'm going to have to upload more Abra Moore to RP. |
| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Apr 25, 2012 - 08:53 Great song. Great songs remind me of great times. They always seem to go together somehow. |
| paulmack (the hissing swamps) | Posted: Nov 05, 2010 - 11:33 This is always the first song to come up on my ipod since I never got around to alphebetizing AM's entry by last name. I hear it - or at least the first part of it - probably more than any other song ever recorded. I always liked this whole CD but she seems to have dropped off the recording planet.... Anybody know what happened to her? Guess I could probably find her on wikipedia..... |
| deepwoodskev (In a town west of Chicago) | Posted: Nov 05, 2010 - 11:20 Goodness, I remember when WXRT here in Chicago used to play this ALL the time when it came out. |
| grungepuppy (Flagstaff, AZ) | Posted: Nov 05, 2010 - 11:18 Wow, I haven't heard this in forever. Brings back a lot of memories. |

| NeilBlanchard (Greater Boston area, Massachusetts) | Posted: Mar 27, 2010 - 20:07 This song is already 14 years old?! 8-O Neil |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Feb 24, 2010 - 06:48 I absolutely love the song "happiness" from this album... |

| Glockman45 (in your human head brain) | Posted: Jan 23, 2010 - 19:48 I likee |
| gandalfbmg (3 mi from Paradise (Missouri)) | Posted: Dec 23, 2009 - 09:39 Haven't heard this in ages... though either I don't remember it all that well or this is a different mix than was played on the radio back in the day... |
| teapot (in orbit) | Posted: Dec 23, 2009 - 09:37 I was gonna say that, too. Massive headcold? |
| TobalMoreno (Planning your build-out) | Posted: Dec 23, 2009 - 09:37 Bill! You sounds sick! Get to bed. |
| pinklife (St. Augustine, FL) | Posted: Oct 21, 2009 - 13:36 This one comes in, puts up its feet, pops a beer and stays awhile. Good thing I like it... |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Oct 21, 2009 - 13:36 ...wow - it's been ages since i've heard this and suddenly my ears are parsing the melody and chord progression in an entirely different light... |

This stuff is getting old. (Excelsior? What? Physicsgenius and Tux were much more entertaining and talented trolls than Excelsior ever was, and Tux was kind enough to keep his hacking restricted to his 'mute script'.) |

| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 12:06 I remember buying this album soon after this single came out. Pretty sure it got traded in at the record store the next visit. Taste great, but less filling... :) |
