If Cleopatra Took a Chance

[Intro]
If Cleopatra took a chance
Knowing her throne was at stake
If Helen of Troy knew heartaches

[Verse]
In the history books, you'll find
Kingdoms have been took
Lives have been lost
Wars have been fought
Joy has been bought
If queens can fall in love
Then why can't you? (why can't you?)
Oh, my darling, why can't you? (Why can't you?)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh)
River of tears
(Oh)
Oh, mountains of trouble
(Oh)
Is my proof that this is so
(Oh)
The rich (the rich), the poor (the poor)
The bad (the bad), the good (the good)
The best, and the better
Darkness road
They'll have to go
And I'm here to tell you...

[Chorus]
If (huh) Cleopatra took a chance
Knowing her throne was at stake
If Helen of Troy knew heartaches
If queens can fall in love
Then why can't you? (If Cleopatra took a chance)
Oh, my darling, why can't you? (Knowing her throne was at stake)
Oh, why can't you take a chance (If Cleopatra took a chance)
Oh, take a chance (Knowing her throne was at stake)
Oh, my darling, take a chance (If Cleopatra took a chance)
Oh, take a chance (Knowing her throne was at stake)
Oh
