Love may be a gamble or a lead pipe cinch
Leave your heart a shambles, never give an inch
But however it goes, when it's under your nose
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance

Love may be a fire or a puff of smoke
Moment of desire or it's go-for-broke
But however it's planned, when it's close as your hand
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance

You may be the one in a million
Who's lucky to win that prize
You may be the one in a million
Who gets it between the eyes

Love may be the ocean or a drop of rain
Soothing as a lotion or a constant pain
You won't know what you've got till your heart's on a spot
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance

Love may be a double or a base on balls
Tiny water buffalo on Niagara Falls
Though the cards in the game never turn up the same
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance

Love may be a Grable or a two-ton truck
Regal as a sable or a Donald Duck
But you mustn't avoid what's as basic as Freud
Take a chance, take a chance, yeah
Love is real devotion or it's inhumane
Still without emotion or a hurricane
So remembering this, when it's close as a kiss
Take a chance, take a chance on love
Here's your chance, grab that chance, here is love
