Lyrics to Take A Chance With Me (Single Version)
Lyrics to the song Take A Chance With Me as recorded by Roxy Music.
(Ferry/Manzanera)
As they say, two can play
But keep that song away from me
In my time, too much love
Has made me sad for so long
I was lost, can't you see?
Through the long lonely night
Heaven knows I believe
Won't you take a chance with me?
Sometimes I get so blue
People say I'm just a fool
All the world, even you
Should learn to love the way I do
I was blind, can't you see
Through the long lonely night
Heaven knows, I believe
Won't you take a chance with me?
Won't you take a chance with me?
