1
here i go again;
i hear those trumpets blow again;
all aglow again – taking a chance on love.
here i slide again;
about to take that ride again.;
starry eyed again – taking a chance on love.
i thought the cards were a frame-up
i never would try.
but now i’m taking the game up
and the ace of hearts is high.
things are mending now;
i see a rainbow blending now;
we’ll have our happy ending now
taking a chance on love.
2
here i come again;
i’m gonna make things hum again;
acting dumb again – taking a chance on love.
here i stand again;
about to beat the band again;
feeling grand again – taking a chance on love.
i never dreamed in my slumbers
and bets were taboo.
but now i’m playing the numbers,
on a little dream for two.
wading in again;
i’m leading with my chin again;
i’m startin’ out to win again
taking a chance on love.
3
here i slip again;
about to take that tip again;
got my grip again
taking a chance on love.
now i prove again;
that i can make life move again;
in the grove again
taking a chance on love.
i walk around with a horseshoe,
in clover i lie.
and brother rabbit of course you,
better kiss your foot goodbye!
on the ball again;
i’m riding for a fall again;
i’m gonna give my all again
taking a chance on love.
