Lyrics

Taking Chances

Turn on the charm Call to response now Sitting on the porch Looking for a way out Touched on me deep That's why I'm still here Why do we think that we've no plight? Even I've taken my chances Even I've taken my chances On you and I know In the dark On the way out It's even in old songs It's the combination that takes emotions Why don't we go now? No need to think on our own now about it Even I've taken my chances Even I've taken my chances On you When you love all of you They know all of you Be alone and take And you break for whose sake? About to leave About to leave Even I've taken my chances Even I've taken my chances On you
