Take 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.
Whatch-you gonna do when it all breaks down?
Take another heart through this lonely town?
Whatch-you gonna do when she turns around,
And says "I never even thought that you'd be messin' 'round."
But then you dance dance dance with the woman who lets you,
How's it going to feel, until I catch you,
What you gonna do when she turns around,
And says "You broke another heart that was broken down."
It's a crying shame,
That the love you've made,
Is a cross, that you bear,
When it's coooooooooooooooooooooooooooold,
Why don't you leave me alone?
Take a chance, with a woman who lets you,
Take a chance, with a woman who lets you,
How'd you gonna feel when it's all found out,
Chase another heart that was up and down?
Whatch-you gonna do when they turn around,
And say "They never ever thought that you'd be messin' 'round."
And then you dance dance dance with the woman who lets you,
How's it going to feel, until I catch you,
How d'ya gonna find what she had in mind?
If you keep tearing out the pages of an aliby.
It's a crying shame,
That the love you've made,
Is a cross, that you bear,
It's a crying shame,
That the love you've made,
Is a cross, that you bear,
When it's coooooooooooooooooooooooooooold,
Why don't you leave me alone?
Take a chance, with a woman who lets you,
Take a chance, with the woman who lets you,
Take a chance..
Take a chance..
Ohhhhhhh
Whatch-you gonna do when it all breaks down?
Chase another heart thats been run around?
How d'ya gonna feel when it settles down?
You said "I never ever thought that I'd be messin' 'round."
But then you dance dance dance with the woman who lets you,
Whatch-you do until I catch you?
How'd you gonna feel when she turns around,
And says "You broke another heart that was broken down."
It's a crying shame,
That the love you've made,
It's a crying shame,
That the love you've made,
It's a crying shame,
That the loooooooveee, won't leave you alone.
