Romance Bore Seduction
Hand blessed hand, caressed.
A blushing rose, her face;
Her breast alive;
The elfin nose, a diamond set -
A kiss upon perfection
Bore a rise of pulse
To coach a sultry moan
Across a mellow breath of wine.
He knew; he sensed,
And easing loose a clasp of lace,
Another sign of her relenting:
Wild the play of eyes,
A fuller glide of skin;
He felt the now begin -
Her swell, intention in the sigh.
And so to hedge his move upon the cue -
The cry of deep anticipation,
Waxing all he saw -
Tho' not for us to view -
Arrived, emotion raw.

Dont Stand Another Chance
Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
He belongs to me, just wait and see
Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance
Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you
So you better give credit cause its nothing coming down your way
You dont stand another chance (not a chance, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (baby) you dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
Well, you know somebodys gotta lose
We all cant win... maybe next time, okay
You guys are confusing
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (another chance)

A Fine Romance
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But youre as cold as yesterdays mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you wont nestle
A fine romance, you wont wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I havent got a chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, Ill take jello
Youre calmer than the seals
In the arctic ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
Ive never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

Rearview Mirror Romance
Im movin Im feeling like Im rollin on my own (what could be better)
Then somewhere drivin my car the radio turn it on (what could be better)
I check around in traffic from my point of view (what could be better)
Then I saw her in the mirror
Maybe the same thing has happened to you
It was
(chorus)
Romance in a rearview mirror
Romance after just one look
Romance in a rearview mirror
I didnt know her but it didnt matter
Romance in a rearview mirror
Just by chance I still cant believe that its true love reflected sight
Its a rearview romance tonight
She pulled up close first glance I saw here eyes (what could be better)
I couldnt stop starin at her she didnt realize (what could be better)
Then looked up in the mirror smile on her faace
There she goes heaven knows
Maybe the same thing has happened to you
It was
Romance in a rearview mirror
Romance after just one look
Romance in a rearview mirror
I didnt know her but it didnt matter
Romance in a rearview mirror
Just by chance I still cant believe that its true love reflected sight
Its a rearview romance tonight
(solo)
There she goes heaven knows
I wanna meet her all alone
Romance in a rearview mirror
Romance after just one look
Romance in a rearview mirror
I didnt know her but it didnt matter
Romance in a rearview mirror
Just by chance I still cant believe that its true love reflected sight
Its a rearview romance tonight
Romance in a rearview mirror
Romance after just one look
Romance in a rearview mirror
I didnt know her but it didnt matter
Romance in a rearview mirror
Just by chance I still cant believe that its true love reflected sight
Its a rearview romance tonight

I Guess I Do It
Why do I do those things that I do?
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
Trying to give romance a chance.
And playing that love game again.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
You want to see the preacher together?
Can we wait until the 38th of May.
And decide then when to announce,
That perfect day.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
Why do I do those things that I do?
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
Trying to give romance a chance.
And playing that love game again.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.

Never Really Had A Chance
I never really understood
Why it is she broke my heart
I did everything I could
To keep her happy from the start
I guess I never really had a chance
At romance
I never really got the answer
To why she left me all alone
She just left me standing there
But all along I guess I'd known
I guess I never had a chance
At romance
So she moved along her way
I am standing here in frozen time
She gave me love and ran away
So I was wrong to think that she was mine
No I never really had a chance
At romance

We Stand A Chance
Stand back from me honey
Because I dont know what I might do next
No Im surprised by this, frightened by this
Nothin ever got me so out of my head, baby
We stand a chance
We stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand the chance of a real love
Oh, God knows I love you
God knows I do,
Baby will you let me just prove it to you
Come here to me baby, come here to me now
I wanna talk to you, talk to you
And tell you somehow, that
We stand a chance
We stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand the chance of a real love
Im so moved, Im so changed
My whole world is a fountain of flame
We stand a chance
We stand a chance
Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand the chance of a real love

Friendship with romance!
So you want a piece of my
Rosy, cushy, juicy pie
I’m afraid, without romance on supply
This refined lady is not going to comply
Before into my world
You make your entrance
Remember this lady loves romance
So how about friendship with romance
Maybe you may stand a chance
Send me sweet roses once in a while
Make it your number one style
I need you now, not as a lover
If that is your immediate aim
You’ll be sucked out of my life with a hover
So how about friendship with romance
Now and then, take me out to dance
Hypnotise me, enchant me in a trance
With words and your exquisite rainbow smile
Don’t just tell me, ‘you fancy me’
I’ll buzz these words to you like a bee
Go take a hike by the sea
Till you roast and dry
So you want a taste of my
Rosy, cushy, juicy delicious pie
I’m afraid, without romance on supply
This refined lady is not going to comply
You have no money! That’s no excuse
There are so many different ways to amuse
I love romance
I eat romance
I sleep romance
Send me little sweet notes
Put them in a bottle
Out in the sea to float
I love romance with a passion
Mesmerise me with some imagination
Don’t try pushy or bushy
There is simply no chance without romance
Of the sweet taste
Of my rosy, cushy, juicy delicious pie

Shot In The Dark
Its a shot in the dark
But baby Id like the chance
Fate aint working
So Im taking it into my hands
No sad songs not tonight
No slow songs not tonight
Its a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
Whod ever believe
Id ever see the edge of your tan
But here in the moonlight
Looks like summer is past
You can take me, Im yours tonight
Make me yours tonight
Its a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
Real romance with you, Id like to see
Romance with you Id like to feel
Romance with you Id like to be
The one who does to you what it is you do to me
Shot in the dark and baby Id like the chance
Fate aint working so Im taking it into my hands
Your eyes shine tonight like the first time I saw you dance
Im gonna get to know you any way that I can
I aint waiting not tonight
No waiting...
Shot in the dark and a chance at real romance

Half A Chance
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
You said wed light the firmament
You said our love was permanent
You said wed stick through thick and thin
Through up and down, through lose and win
But comes the first sign of stormy weather
Youre packin your bags in the trance
But you gotta give
(chorus)
Half a chance
Half a chance
Half a chance
To our romance
You cant pretend its camelot
Then start to run when things get hot
When love explodes theres always heat
Theres always bitter with the sweet
Theres always times when your legs feel broken
But you still dont drop out of the dance
You gotta give
Half a chance
Half a chance
Half a chance
To our romance

The Season For Romance
She smiles at him, he says, hello
They stand beneath the mistletoe
Embarrassed by the awkward circumstance
He asks her if shed like a drink
She says, I better not I think
Oh, what the heck, maybe just one glass
They talk about, oh, this and that
He says, I like the way you laugh
And Im so really glad youre here
Then suddenly its much too warm
She feels his hand against her arm
The season loves the reason for romance
Itll get you if you give it half a chance
The night goes on, the music plays
A moonlight christmas serenade
A lovers song thats meant for only two
And they dont even know it yet
But this is one theyll not forget
The holiday where all their dreams came true
Across the floor he spins her around
Oh, could it be theyve finally found
A love worth waiting for
Then in the tender yuletide bliss
They share an unexpected kiss
The season loves the reason for romance
Itll get you if you give it half a chance
Then suddenly the night is gone
Its late into an early morn
The season loves the reason for romance
Itll get you if you give it half a chance

Take One More Chance
Ooh, I dont understand,
In this crazy world we live in,
Just look around, is it true?
No one gives a damn.
Trapped in a world of illusion,
Is it too late for us, ooh?
Baby, well never know why were stranded here,
Lost in this crowded room,
I noticed you the minute you came into view.
But youre so hard to me,
Oh, why do I care for you so?
I never ever doubt, my love,
The time is oh so right for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
I dont understand,
Been avoiding me all evening.
Each time I looked you just dance,
Again on the floor.
Like life itself had no meaning.
If I could touch you,
But oohooh, deep in my heart I know,
Theres a destiny,
Through all this sadness I see.
Its not too late to change, my love,
Tonight the stars are made for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more chance, this is the last dance.

Don't Stand Another Chance
Don't Stand Another Chance
Standing on the edge of time
Want to lose my mind
'Cause you tried to take him away
From me - but I won't let it be
You just walk into my life
And try to take away my only prize
But you'd better get ready 'cause
His love is right here with me.
You don't stand another chance
You don't stand another chance
Take him in your arms - he'd never
Want to

Ghost Of A Chance
Victor p. young / bing crosby / ned washington
I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But i don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last i found you
But other loves surround you
And i don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That i'm the lover
Meant for you
And i'd be true
But what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming
For i don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
Cuz i don't stand
A ghost of a chance
With you

Get Out Of Here
Pack up, Ive had enough, thats it, I quit
Give up, you win, I lose, you win
You choose, you stay
Ill go, you stay, I lose
I used to be a dreamer
But I realize that its not my style at all
In fact it becomes clearer that a dreamer
Doesnt stand a chance at all
Get out of here
Get out of here
Get out
Do I make myself clear
No way, I must go, cant stay, must run
No chance, I cant give a second chance
No hope, theres no hope for you now
No romance, no more romance
No how, no how could we stay together
No need, I have no need for you now
No fear, no fear of you no more
Get out of here
Get out of here
Do I make myself clear
Pack up, give in, go home, get out
I used to be a dreamer
But I realized that its not my style at all
In fact it becomes clearer that a dreamer
Doesnt stand a chance at all
And Ive become bitter
For I believe that this is better
No matter, whatever, whenever
We can never ever stay together
Get out of here
Go
Do I make myself plain
I dont want to ever see you again
Get out of here
Pack up, give in, get out of here
Rev up, go away, get out of here
Give in, go home, right away, get to
Pack up, give in, give up, rev up
Go away ... out

Outside Chance
(Original by The Turtles - written by Warron Zevon )
You can try to please me
But it won't be easy
Stone walls surround me
I'm surprised that you even found me
Chorus:
And you don't stand an outside chance
(you don't stand an outside chance)
You don't stand an outside chance
But you can try
Whatever you do girl
You know you can't get through girl
Can't bring me down
Hang me up or even hang around
[repeat chorus]
I know you think you'll get me
I'm only flesh and bone
But you may as well forget me
'Cause my heart is stone
You better leave me alone
Stand an outside chance

It's Been...Too Long, A Wait For Me
If you want romance,
Is there still a chance...
You could slip away,
From your quick and grab it habits...
And be fully medicated.
If you want romance,
Is there still a chance...
You could slip away,
From your quick and grab it habits...
And be fully medicated.
It's been...
Too long,
A wait for me.
I feel I should grab to have it.
It's been...
Too long,
A wait for me.

It's been...
Too long a wait for me.
Do I stand a chance?
It's been...
Too long,
A wait from me.
Could there be romance,
To have our hearts continue dancing?
It's been...
Too long,
A wait for me.
And my heart is mended now,
With no sorrows that I borrow.
Or drag in to meet tomorrow.
It's been...
Too long,
A wait for me.
With no sorrows that I borrow.
And a heart that's mended now.
It's been...
Too long,
A wait for me.
With no sorrows that I borrow.
And a heart that's mended now.
It's been...
Too long,
A wait for me.

Fear Of Chance
I’m afraid
I fear the chance
To get into your pants
But
I don’t fear the chance
To show off my lance
I guess
What I fear is the dance
A dance
That may turn out to be a romance
So
I won’t show you my lance
Because
I won’t have a chance
To keep up the romance
Cause
I see it in their faces
Hear it in their voices
I hear the disgrace
That you might face
For
Loving the black race
