Wanted to give her my heart
But as the doctor observed
What would she do with it?
Then when she said we must part
Albeit for only an hour
Couldn't go through with it
I was unhappy 'til she came along
Suddenly, problems that seem insurmountable left in a huff
You can be sure when you know you're
Taking a chance on love
What would you do, if like me
You have the girl of your dreams
Only you blew it?
How do you think you would feel
Looking back and saying to yourself
"That was so stupid?"
I don't know what makes the perfect romance
Could be as simple as tickling her toes
When you're both in the bath
You'll never lose, not when you choose
Taking a chance on love
But when will you find it?
And will it be true?
What is the answer?
I wish that I knew
For somebody's partner
Whose wife is a friend
Illustrates just what I mean
Though I was so set in my ways
Had someone followed me home
They could've beat me there
Never believed in the phrase
That "You haven't lived 'til you've loved"
Oh, I didn't seem to care
Call me old-fashioned, but I still aspire
Standing with her in a church full of people
A priest up above
Saying, "I do"
Of her saying it too
Taking a chance on love
No one can tell you it isn't a game
Taking a chance on love
You win some, you lose some
It's never the same
Taking a chance on love
Ooh, love, ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Well, even if wrong
Know, I'll still go on
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love, ooh, ooh, ooh
