美國實力歌姬［蘿拉布蘭妮根］──舞曲搖滾──基層勞工的幻想──［The Lucky One／幸運兒］

You can break away or you can stay

You choose your life, you're free to fly

Go on and fly

Go on and fly

She had it in her own time

To get away and try to find

Somewhere to go, to run

She saw the world through open eyes

And never let a soul inside

Don't come too close, so close

Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night

You can take what you want, and you don't think twice

Cause the world's in your hands, you got all you want

And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Her soul was strong, her heart was tough

And when she felt she had enough

She tore herself away

Love in the dark is all you see

Get what you want, not what you need

You look the other way

Never letting on to what it's all become

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night

You can take what you want, and you don't think twice

Cause the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want

And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one

Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one

Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one

Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night

You can take what you want, and you don't think twice

Cause the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want

And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

同名歌曲成為她事業最紅的全球單曲（美加除外）

１９８４年７月　蘿拉推出第二主打［The Lucky One／幸運兒］

Bruce Roberts譜寫　Jack White製作成一首舞曲搖滾

由清唱起頭  逐漸帶入節奏　展現蘿拉多變的唱腔

MV中　蘿拉飾演一名加油站員工　工作時做著白日夢　幻想自己買下一幢鄉家豪宅　被教導如何展示優雅的舉止
