You remind me I live in a shell Safe from the past and doin' okay but not very well No jolts, no surprises, no crisis arises My life goes along as it should It's all very nice, but not very good And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been livin' with nothing to show for it You get what you get when you go for it And I'm ready to take a chance again with you When she left me, in all my despair I just held on, my hopes were all gone Then I found you there And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been livin' with nothing to show for it You get what you get when you go for it And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been livin' with nothing to show for it You get what you get when you go for it And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to take a chance again with you With you
