“Chance on Me” is the ninth track of We Get By, fourteenth studio album by the American blues and gospel singer and activist Mavis Staples, released on May 24, 2019.
Written by another legend of contemporary blues, Ben Harper, the song is a passionate invite to Mavis' predestined soul mate to stop...
[Verse 1]
I don't need a sky full of stars
I just need one, just need one
You say that love is not in your cards
There’s only so far you can run
[Chorus]
Take a chance, take a chance on me (Chance on me)
Take a chance on me (Chance on me)
Take a chance, a chance on me (Chance on me)
[Verse 2]
If you do or if you don't
Both are a risk
If you will or if you won't
We can’t go on like this
[Chorus]
Take a chance on me (Chance on me)
Take a chance, a chance on me (Chance on me)
Take a chance, take a chance on me (Chance on me)
[Bridge]
Wandering, wondering
Lightning and thundering
Longing and hungering
Love gives us no warning
[Verse 3]
I don't need a symphony
I just need one violin
I know where we can go
I don't care where we've been
[Chorus]
Take a chance on me (Chance on me)
Take a chance on me (Take a chance on me)
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me (Chance on me)
Take a chance
