[Verse 1]
Very superstitious
Old writing's on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladder's 'bout to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
All the good things in your past
Listen

[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don't understand
You suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no

[Verse 2]
Very superstitious
You could wash your face and hands
Why don't you rid me of the problem
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
I said to keep me going strong
Now, now, said you don't wanna save me, no
Sad is my song
Listen, listen
[Chorus]
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't the way
Listen

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm very superstitious
And there's nothing more to say, no
Very superstitious
The devil's on his way
Oh, oh, listen
See, that thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past
Listen, yah

[Chorus]
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
[Outro]
Said it ain't the way
Uh, yo, uh, give it to me now
