Jackie DeShannon - Taking My Chances

{Intro}
(Now, next on our show
We're go right along with a request
It's called "Takin' My Chances")

{Verse 1}
Today a friend told me
You'd asked about me
And said you were lonely
And you have been true

{Verse 2}
You want a new chance now
You proved you are true
But I'm taking my chances
With somebody new

{Bridge}
I'd still like to have you
No need to deny
But in this game of love, dear
The odds are too high

{Verse 3}
I know I must gamble
For love that is true
But I'm taking my chances
With somebody new (All boys now)

{Instrumental Break}

{Verse 4}
I know life's a gamble
For better or worsе
And we take a chance for
A blеssing or curse

{Verse 5}
Well, I took my chance, dear
And I gave you my heart
But I'm a good loser
I'll take a new start

{Bridge}
I'd still like to have you
No need to deny
But in this game of love, dear
The odds are too high

{Vere 3}
I know I must gamble
For love that is true
But I'm taking my chances
With somebody new

{Outro}
(Oh, thank you, boys)
