Taking a Chance on Love
Here I go again
I'm hearing trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry-eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
That I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have our happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
I'm gonna take that tip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In a groove again
Taking a chance on love
I'm walkin' 'round with a horseshoe
And in clover I lie
Why Mister Rabbit, of course you
Better kiss your foot goodbye
On the ball again
I'm ridin' for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
Here I sink again
I'm getting in the pink again
On the brink again
Taking a chance on love
This game I'm taking a crack at
Sure needs good luck with me
And so I'm taking a whack at
Any black cat that I see
Boy, I'm booked again
I'm in the swim and hooked again
This goose of mine is cooked again
Taking a chance on love
