The lyrics take the form of an earnest offer, with the speaker insisting they can see through any words and asking for a clear response about whether love is wanted. They repeatedly return to the idea of a missed opportunity being reopened, in the mood of patient waiting: “I don't get that second chance”.

Lyrics

Second Chance

I really wanna show you now

Nothing you could say I don't already know

That I don't get that second chance baby

Yeah you know I'll just keep on waiting

I don't have to make up my mind

At the way you talk to me

Just tell me if you want my love

Cause oh you know that I keep on waiting

Just be careful what you do to me

Oh oh

Just be careful what you do

Oh oh

Please tell me there's a second chance baby

If you really really want it

Boy you let me know

If it's cold you know I'm waiting for the moment

Tell me if you want

Tell me if you really want it

Cause boy you know I do

Tell me now cause I'm just waiting for the moment

Tell me if you want

You know you make my love come down

Just in how you talk to me

And I could wait forever here for ya

Yeah you know I'll just keep on waiting

Cause I don't have to make up my mind

Not if you could still believe

That I'm the one who'll be around

I can see that we both are changing

Just be careful what you do to me

Just be careful what you do

Please tell me there's a second chance baby

My love's for ya

Boy you know that it's all for real

My love's for ya

You know that it's all for real

Don't you know that it's for real

If you really really want it

Boy you let me know

If it's cold you know I'm waiting for the moment

Tell me if you want

Tell me if you really want it

Cause boy you know I do

Let me now cause I'm just waiting for the moment

Tell me if you want

If you really really want it

Boy you let me know

If it's cold you know I'm waiting for the moment

Tell me if you want

And if you really really want it
