[Verse 1:] I took chance, I took a fall Waited on love 'til I could give it my all Then I let my heart fly Took a rose to her door Stood there like a statue just sort of frozen by her presence But I shyed [Chorus:] Ain't it always that way When you want to believe Ain't it always that way When you want and you need Ain't it always that way When you want to rely Ain't it always that way When you want and you need and you cry
[Verse 2:] Yes and then I took a space out of time I don't wanna sound like a thief but the moment was mine And I stole it, it felt right I took a chance, took a fall Waited on love until I could give it my all Then I let my heart fly [Chorus] [Outro:] Ain't it always that way When you want to believe Ain't it always that way When you want and you need and you cry
