9 x 9 (Feels Like, You Know)

What to ask if I were to be lucky?
Love, cars, gadgets, house, yacht, fame, success, or money?
Let’s say I’m quite ambitious so I chose success.
If I were greedy money would do, I confess.
But the universe knows much more than I do.
I didn’t ask, that’s when he gave me you.
So with Ms. Lana Del Rey, I sing along.
What a great surprise, you, damn you, careless con.
Who’s lucky? Are we? Maybe we should thank destiny.
