You'll get your fifth chance to make it right
Like a lost patient shocked back to life
Gonna get paid tonight down on White
Drink in hand, hole in heart
I'm searching for warmth under cover of dark
If you catch my eyes I just might take you up tonight
You know I've never been able to say no to love
No I cannot say no to love
