Chance

I’ve been hurt many times in my life,

But somehow, I know it’s different with you.

You’re something special and I can’t let you get away from me.

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you true love,

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you true happiness,

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you paradise.

You’re a complicated individual in which I gladly accept the challenge of discovering.

I want to know everything about you, so speak, I’m all ears,

We have all the time in the world so what’s up?

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you elation,

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you excitement,

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you real “love making”.

Can I explore your mind and all your thoughts?

What turns you on, what makes you happy?

I want…no I need to know it all.

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you peacefulness,

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you pride,

Just give me a chance and I’ll show you me.

So…just give me a chance.
