Lyrics How the Hell (Michael’s Song) - Emily Hackett

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 20
I 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, yeah
Richer than I'd ever be

'Cause 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 20
I 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?

Baby, you, baby
How the hell did I get you? Yeah-yeah

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

I never slipped no one a 20
I never conned nobody
Never took the shortcut or picked a pocket or forced a hand to lose
I never held no one for ransom
And 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?

Yeah
How did I, how did I, did I get you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
