Take a Chance

[Verse 1]
What you gonna do when it all breaks down?
Take another heart through this lonely town
What you gonna do when she turns around
And says, "I never, ever thought that you'd be messing 'round"?
But then you dance, dance, dance with the woman that lets you
How's it gonna feel until I get you?
What you gonna do when she turns around
And says, "You broke another heart that was broken down"?

[Chorus]
It's a crying shame that the love you've made
Is a cross that you bear
When it's cold
Why don't you leave me alone?

[Post-Chorus]
Take a chance with a woman who lets you
Take a chance with a woman who lets you

[Verse 2]
How you gonna feel when it's all found out?
Chase another heart that was up in doubt
What you gonna do when I turn around?
I said, "I never, ever thought that you'd be messing 'round"
But then you dance, dance, dance with the woman that lets you
How's it gonna feel until I catch you?
How you gonna find out what she had in mind
If you keep tearing out the pages of an alibi?

[Chorus]
It's a crying shame that the love you've made
Is a cross that you bear
It's a crying shame that the love you've made
Is a cross that you bear
When it's cold
Why don't you leave me alone?

[Post-Chorus]
Take a chance with a woman who lets you
Take a chance with a woman who lets you
Take a chance
Take a chance

[Verse 3]
Oh, what you gonna do when it all breaks down?
Chase another heart that's been run around?
How you gonna feel when it settles down?
You said, "I never, ever thought that I'd be messing 'round"
But then you dance, dance, dance with the woman that lets you
What you gonna do until I catch you?
How you gonna feel when she turns around
And says, "You broke another heart that was broken down"?

[Chorus]
It's a crying shame that the love you've made
It's a crying shame that the love you've made
It's a crying shame that the love
Won't leave me alone
