I'm gonna write you a letter Call you on the phone Gonna send you flowers, sing you a song I'm gonna get to you . . . just you wait and see And even if you won't say yes right now I'll bide my time 'cause some day, some how I'm gonna get to you . . . the way you get to me You can call me crazy I don't care The odds are bad but the chance is there [CHORUS] A long shot at love Is better than no shot Right now, that's all I've got to get to you So I gotta believe A long shot at love Is better than no shot My heart won't let me stop 'till I get to you The way you get to me Gonna throw a little salt Gonna knock on wood Gonna say a little prayer that my luck runs good I'm gonna get to you . . . I hope I get to stay And even if you break my heart in two I'm going for broke that's all I can do I'm gonna get to you . . . before you get away You can call crazy I don't mind The odds are bad but I've got time [REPEAT CHORUS TWICE] A long shot at love Is better than no shot
