A Chance On Love

Verse

I watch you walk on through that door
I've never seen someone like you before
And I'm so electrified and I
I've got that feeling when you know inside

I walk on closer to where you stand
Trying not to hold my heart in my hand
So many times I've been denied
And I've seen a lot of hungry eyes

Chorus

Sometimes love is hard
Don't know which way to turn
My heart can win but
My heart can burn

I'd rather go down trying
Than laying around crying
That I lost out on love
But I know what I want
I'll take a chance on love
I'll take a chance on love

Verse

Maybe you'll drop your bag, your magazine
I'll rush over to the scene
Reach down to the ground, and I'm hoping to
Catch your eyes as I hand it back to you

Still you could be gone if I looked away
Faster than a heartbeat or that I could say
Something stupid like "Don't I know you somehow"
Would she look straight at me & then laugh out loud?

Chorus

Sometimes love is hard
Don't know which way to turn
My heart can win but
My heart can burn

I'd rather go down trying
Than laying around crying
That I lost out on love
But I know what I want
I'll take a chance on love
I'll take a chance on love

Bridge

For me love won't happen 'til I try
Some might get lucky but I'm not that guy
So right here right now, part of my plan
Includes reaching you any way I can

Chorus

Sometimes love is hard
Don't know which way to turn
My heart can win but
My heart can burn

I'd rather go down trying
Than laying around crying
That I lost out on love
But I know what I want
I'll take a chance on love
I'll take a chance on love
