Do we deserve a second chance?
How did we fall into this circumstance?
We weren’t so straight and narrow
This is much more than we deserve
A higher voice has called the tune
Two hearts that lost the beat will now resume
The gift of life extension
By divine intervention
It’s gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
Life doesn’t mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we’ve found
The second time around
Don’t understand what’s going on
Woke up this morning, all the hurt was gone
This is a new beginning
I’m back in the land of the living
It’s gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
Life doesn’t mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we’ve found
The second time around
Take a Chance
(Foster/Lukather/Newton-John)
Could it be we’re the perfect pair?
Have it all if we’d only dare
I have dreamed of a night like this
Maybe you will end my loneliness
Meeting you was a dangerous thing
Can’t control what is happening
Stood my ground, didn’t run away
Trying hard to hide that I’m so afraid
Take a chance, take a chance
Shall I take another chance on love?
Take a chance, take a chance
Shall I take another chance on love?
When it feels so right
That I’m safe and warm inside
Take a chance and fall tonight
Guess my heart’s on the borderline
Couldn’t stand it not to work this time
It’s hard to fight when it feels so good
If there’s something, don’t you think that we should
Take a chance, take a chance
Shall I take another chance on love?
Take a chance, take a chance
Shall I take another chance on love?
When it feels so right
That I’m safe and warm inside
Take a chance and fall tonight
Shaking You
(Gordon/Foster/Keane)
Why do I have to care for you?
When I should have known to stay away
Why was I there for you?
I don’t know how I lost my touch
I never believed that I could ever want
Somebody’s love so much
Time can shake me loose from the blues
But who would know I’d be this slow shaking you
I don’t know what I’m looking for
I just let the arrows go and hope I find what I am shooting for
So don’t say that you’ll be there for me
If you don’t care for me, I’ll be gone
‘Cause I don’t have the strength to be this strong
Who knew that I’d take so long shaking you
Now I’m waiting to hit the ground
I’m painting my love for you in corners I know how to get around
Time can shake me loose from the blues
But who would know I’d be this slow shaking you
I don’t know what I’m looking for
I just let the arrows go and hope I find what I am shooting for
(Livin’ in) Desperate Times
(Tom Snow/Barry Alfonso)
Never thought it would be so rough
And I wonder if I have enough
To keep from breaking down
No mercy in this town
Every day is just another test
Seems I’m always second best
But you learn along the way
That’s the price you have to pay
I try to stay defiant, be tough and self-reliant
Though I get tired to the bone
Love is just a wish I keep inside
How’s it gonna help me to survive?
Looks like I’m in this fight alone
And I’m livin’ in desperate times
Being alive’s my only crime
Don’t care what I have to do
I’ll find some way to make it through
Oh, and I’m livin’ in desperate times
And it’s too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run
Innocents get taken in
By the promise of an easy win
They start off so naive
So eager to believe
But the glitter of the city lights
Only covers up a lonely night
Of strangers slamming doors
You’re hungry and ignored
I’ve faced the competition
I’ve made the hard decisions
Will it be worth it in the end?
Taking any chance that comes along
Getting hard to tell what’s right or wrong
I only wish I had a friend
And I’m livin’ in desperate times
Being alive’s my only crime
Don’t care what I have to do
I’ll find some way to make it through
Oh, and I’m livin’ in desperate times
And it’s too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run
