Love may be a gamble or a lead pipe cinch Leave your heart in shambles, never give an inch But however it goes, when it's under your nose Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance Love may be a fire or a puff of smoke Moment of desire or it's go-for-broke But however it's planned when it closes your hand Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance You may be the one in a million who's lucky to win that prize You may be the one in a million who gets it between the eyes Love may the ocean or a drop of rain Choosing as emotion or a constant pain You won't know what you've got till your heart is on a spot Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance Love may be a double or a fate on balls Tiny water buffalo on Niagara Falls Though the cards in the game never turn up the same Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance Love may be a gravel or a two-ton truck Regal as a sable or a Donald Duck But you must not avoid what is basic as Freud Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance Love is real devotion or it's inhumane Still without emotion or a hurricane So remembering this, when it's close as a kiss Take a chance, take a chance on love Here's your chance, grab that chance, here is love
