TAKE A CHANCE ON ME

ROSIE
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
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
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing
BILL
We can go walking
ROSIE
As long as we’re together
Listen to some music
BILL
Maybe just talking
ROSIE
You’d get to know me better
‘cause you know I 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
BILL
Afraid of a love affair
ROSIE
But I think you know
That I want you so!

If you change your mind
I’m the first in line
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
ROSIE & BILL
If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go
When you’re feeling down
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
ROSIE
Take a chance on me
BILL
Oh come on give me a break will ya!
ROSIE
Take a chance on me

Oh, you can take your time baby
I’m in no hurry
I know I’m gonna get you
You don’t wanna hurt me
BILL
Baby don’t worry
ROSIE
I ain’t gonna let you
Let me tell you now
Our love is strong enough
To last when things get rough
It’s magic
ROSIE & BILL
You say that I waste my time
But I can’t get you off my mind
And I think you know
That I want you so

Original lyric:


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
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
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing

We can go walking

As long as we’re together
Listen to some music

Maybe just talking

You’d get to know me better
‘cause you know I 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

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
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

Take a chance on me

Oh come on give me a break will ya!

Take a chance on me

Oh, you can take your time baby
I’m in no hurry
I know I’m gonna get you
You don’t wanna hurt me

Baby don’t worry

I ain’t gonna let you
Let me tell you now
Our love is strong enough
To last when things get rough
It’s magic

You say that I waste my time
But I can’t get you off my mind
And I think you know

That I can't let go
