Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Very superstitious
Writing's on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladders 'bout to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
The good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
Hey
[Verse 2]
Ooh, very superstitious
Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me going strong
You don't wanna save me
Sad is my song
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
You don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
The devil's on his way
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
No, no, no
