potential first

Song: Just Got Lucky

Artist: Jo Boxers

Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it’s the beat I seek
And I found it
just got lucky

yes I found it
just got lucky.

I never worry that your love is fake
I’m free and easy and I’m feeling jake
’cause I found it
just got lucky
Oh boy I found it
just got lucky

 

’cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin’ for more.

I’ve been fooled by love so many times.
I gave up on all the silly rhymes.
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door
no key was cut that was the fit
Now I’m such a very lucky guy.

Gangway
on side now
come on
hear me say:
We found the answer and it’s plain to see – come on hear me say
That I’m for you and you’re for me
’cause we found it
just got lucky
Together we found it
just got lucky.

I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky’s the limit with a love like this
’cause we’ve found it
just got lucky
Together we found it
just got lucky

’cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin’ for more.

I’ve been fooled by love so many times. . . .
We found the answer and it’s plain to see – come on hear me say
I feel a quiver every time we kiss

I’ve been fooled by love so many times. . . .
Come on hear me say
come on hear me say
Just got lucky
just got lucky

“Sasama ka?” Matamis nanaman ang mga ngiti niya sa akin.

 

“Ikaw?”

 

Tumango siya habang inaayos ang backpack niya. “Gusto mo sabay tayo?”

 

Kung cartoons ako, lumipad ako derecho sa kalawakan! ‘Sabay tayo? ‘

Sabay daw kami?!

 

“Sige!” Ehem. “Sige. Ano’ng oras?” Ang hirap pigilan, napansin niya na rin ata.

 

“Mga Seven?” Lahat na lang ng gawin nya, parang naka slow motion. Kumikislap pa ang mga mata niya at sumasabay sa hangin ang pagsayaw ng buhok niya.

 

“Sige,” Kumakanta na ang Backstreet Boys sa background. Palakas na ng palakas ang volume. Nakikisayaw pa yung mga Maya. Tumaas ang pagtubo ng bulaklak at sumasayaw din sila kasabay ng mga ibon. Nagsasayawan na rin ang mga taong dumadaan. Ayos, production number!

 

“Kiko!” Tawang-tawa na siya sa harap ko. “Ok ka lang?”

 

“Huh? Oo. Ok lang. Sorry.” Niligpit ko na rin ang mga gamit ko pabalik sa backpack ko.

 

“So, seven ha?”" Inabutan niya ako ng punit na piraso ng yellow paper. Lumakad na rin siya palayo.

 

“Uhm, Lea?”

 

“Address ko ‘yan. Kung gusto mo agahan, para makakain tayo bago pumunta, text mo ko.”

 

Production number ulit!
