Buy Myself a Chance

Well, I've been watching you stare at the floor

That guy's got two left feet

I may be wrong, but you must be bored

You look like someone who I'd like to meet

I could walk over and say "Hello"

But I think I need one more drink

Looks like you might be getting ready to go

Better find some words quick now let me think

Well, if things don't work out by the next song

And you're looking for someone who can dance

I'll be right over there by the jukebox, a quarter in my hand

Trying to buy myself a chance

Saw my reflection in an empty glass

So I rehearse my lines

Say, I ain't looking for trouble

I know you came in here with him tonight

But if things don't work out by the next song

And you're looking for someone who can dance

I'll be right over there by the jukebox with a quarter in my hand

Trying to buy myself a chance

Well, here goes nothing

I hope for something

I'm walking now across the floor

I cross my fingers, I tap your shoulder and I say

"I've never done this before"

But if things don't work out by the next song

And you're looking for someone who can dance

I'll be right over there by the jukebox

But if things don't work out by the next song

And you're looking for someone who can dance

I'll be right over there by the jukebox, quarter in my hand

Trying to buy myself a chance

I'm trying to buy myself a chance
