Half A Chance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You said we'd light the firmament
You swore our love was permanent
You said we'd stick through thick and thin
Through up and down, through lose and win
But comes the first sign of stormy weather
You're packin' your bags in a trance
Well you gotta give
Half a chance, oh babe
Give half a chance, oh darling
Give half a chance, oh babe
To our romance
And you know you can't pretend it's Camelot
Then start to run when things get hot
When love explodes there's always heat
There's always bitter with the sweet
There's always times when your legs feel broken
But you still don't drop out of the dance
Cause you gotta give
Half a chance, oh babe
Give half a chance, now darling
Give half a chance, oh babe
To our romance
There's always times when your legs feel broken
But you still don't drop out of the dance
Cause you gotta give
Half a chance, half a chance
Give half a chance, now darling
Give half a chance, half a chance
To our romance
