Lyrics to Take A Chance With Me

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?
