Gilbert O'sullivan - Taking a Chance on Love lyrics

I wanted to give her my heart But as the doctor observed What could she do with it Then when she said we must part Albeit for only an hour Couldn't go through with it I was unhappy until she came along Suddenly problems That seems insurmountable Left in a huff You can be sure When you know you're Taking a chance on love What would you do if like me You had the girl of your dreams Only you blew it How do you think you would feel Looking back and saying to yourself That was so stupid I don't know what makes The perfect romance Could be as simple as tickling her toes When you're both in the tub You'll never lose Not when you choose Taking a chance on love When will you find it Will it be true What is the answer I wish that I knew Somebody's partner Whose wife is a friend Illustrates just what I mean I was so set in my ways Had someone followed me home They couldn't beat me there Never believed in the phrase That you haven't lived till you've love Oh, I didn't seem to care Call me old fashioned but I still aspire Standing with her In a church full of people A priest up above Saying I do Her saying it, too Taking a chance on love No one can tell you it isn't a game Taking a chance on love You win some you loose some It's never the same Taking a chance on love Umm, love Well, even if wrong Oh, I still go on Taking a chance on love Taking a chance on love Taking a chance on love oh
