Give Me A Chance

(album: One Good Reason - 1987)

Why wait any longer, darling?
Why wait in vain?
Why look for something
When something's there?
Why are you twisted around
His little finger
When you should be aware
Young hearts are easily broken
If they're not handled with care?

Why live on dreams?
Why live on dreams?

Give me a chance
To show you love
Say you will
Ah, say you will

Give me a chance, darling
To show you love
Say you will
Say you will

You're counting every single minute
Every hour he's been away
Meanwhile, he's out there with somebody
And it makes me mad to see you this way
He's working so long in his hard earned reputation
As the man about the town
But he can't live up to expectations
You're all built up for him to knock down

Why live on dreams?
Why live on dreams?

Give me a chance, darling
To show you love
Say you will
Ah, say you will

Give me a chance
To show you love
Darling, say you will
Ah, say you will

I don't even mind if it's
Him that you really love

Give me a chance
To show you love
Say you will
Ah, say you will

Give me a chance, darling
To show you love
Say you will
Ah, say you will
