Here I go again, I hear those
trumpets blow again.
All aglow again , takin' a
chance on love.
Here I slide again, about to
take that ride again.
Starry-eyed again, takin' a
chance on love.
I thought that cards were a
frame-up, I never would try.
Now I'm taking that game up and
the ace of hearts is high.
Things are mending now, I see a
rainbow blending now.
We'll have a happy ending now,
takin' a chance on love.
Here I slip again, about to take
that trip again.
I got that grip again, takin' a
chance on love.
Now I prove again that I can
make life move again.
Um - I'm in the groove again,
takin' a chance on love.
I walk around with a horse shoe,
in clover I lie.
And brother rabbit of course you
better kiss your ... foot good-bye.
On that ball again I'm ridin'
for a fall again.
I'm gonna give my all again
takin' a chance on love.
