Hail, Hail Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?

I get the words and then I get to thinkin'; I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
And how do I feel?
And how do I…

[Chorus]
If you're the only one, will I never be enough? Yeah
Hail, hail to the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'll love you until the day I die, ah, and beyond
Are we goin' to the same place? If so, can I come?
It's egg rollin' thick and heavy, all the past you carry
Oh, I could be new, you underestimate me

[Chorus]
If you're the only one, will I never be enough? Yeah
Hail, hail to the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
(Yah!)

[Bridge]
(Ah)
I sometimes realize
I could only be as good as you'll let me
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand
(Yeah!)
[Outro]
I find it on the run in a race that can't be won, yeah
All hail to the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
If you're my only one, so could you, only one?
I want to be your one, enough, your one, your one, your one

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
