Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stand back from me, honey
Because I don't know what I might do next
No, I'm surprised by this, frightened by this
Nothing ever got me so out of my head
[Chorus]
Baby, we stand a chance
Baby, we stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand a chance of a real love
[Instrumental]
Oh, God knows I love you, God knows I do
Baby, will you let me just prove it to you?
Come here to me, baby, come here to me now
I wanna talk to you, talk to you, and tell you somehow
[Chorus]
That we stand a chance
Baby, we stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand a chance of a real love
[Refrain]
Woah, I'm so moved, I'm so changed
Baby, my whole world is a fountain of flame
[Chorus]
Baby, we stand a chance
Baby, we stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand a chance of a real love
[Refrain]
Woah, I'm so moved, I'm so changed
Oh, baby, my whole world is a fountain of flame
[Chorus]
Baby, we stand a chance
Baby, we stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand a chance of a real love
[Outro]
Oh
Oh, we stand a chance
We stand a chance
It's gonna take time, but we stand a chance
Oh, we stand a chance
We stand a chance
It's gonna take time, but we stand a chance
Oh
Oh, we stand a chance
We stand a chance
It's gonna take time, but we stand a chance
