GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Taking A Chance On Love

I wanted to give her my heart

But as the doctor observed

What could 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 until she came along

Suddenly problems

That seems 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 had 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 tub

You'll never lose

Not when you choose

Taking a chance on love



When will you find it

Will it be true

What is the answer

I wish that I knew

Somebody's partner

Whose wife is a friend

Illustrates just what I mean



I was so set in my ways

Had someone followed me home

They couldn't beat me there

Never believed in the phrase

That you haven't lived till you've love

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

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 loose some

It's never the same

Taking a chance on love

Uum, love



Well, even if wrong

Oh, I still go on

Taking a chance on love

Taking a chance on love

Taking a chance on love ooh
