Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Don't know much about your life. Don't know much about your world, but Don't want to be alone tonight, On this planet they call earth. You don't know about my past, and I don't have a future figured out. And maybe this is going too fast. And maybe it's not meant to last, But, what do you say to taking chances, What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there's solid ground below Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay What do you say What do you say I just want to start again And maybe you could show me how to try And maybe you could take me in Somewhere underneath your skin? What do you say to taking chances What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there's solid ground below Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay What do you say What do you say And I had my heart beaten down But I always come back for more, yeah There's nothing like love to pull you up When you're laying down on the floor there So talk to me, talk to me Like lovers do Yeah walk with me, walk with me Like lovers do Like lovers do What do you say to taking chances What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there's solid ground below Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay What do you say What do you say Don't know much about your life And I don't know much about your world.
