Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down
[Verse 2]
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
[Verse 3]
Take a chance on me
(That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me
[Verse 4]
We can go dancing, we can go walking
As long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking
Get to know you better
[Verse 5]
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you, it's magic
You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go
[Verse 6]
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down
[Verse 7]
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
[Verse 8]
Take a chance on me
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me
[Verse 9]
Oh, you can take your time baby
I'm in no hurry
Know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me
Baby don't worry
I ain't gonna let you
[Verse 10]
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough, it's magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go, 'cause I love you so
[Verse 11]
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down
[Verse 12]
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
[Verse 13]
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
[Verse 14]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
[Verse 15]
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
[Verse 16]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
