Take A Chance

Words and music by bob seger
You take a chance on an airplane
You take a chance when you cross the street
You take a chance when you love somebody
When youre standing near the heat
You take a chance when youre honest
You take a chance when you tell lies
You take a chance when you trust somebody
When you look em in the eyes
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me
You take a chance when youre indecisive
You take a chance when youre aloof
You take a chance when you judge somebody
When youve really got no proof
You take a chance when you refuse to hear
You take a chance when youre unkind
You take a chance when you refuse to grow up baby
You end up left behind
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me
You take a chance when youre ruthless
You take a chance when youre cruel
You take a chance when you make a vow babe
To be nobodys fool
You take a chance when youre distant
You take a chance when you live inside
You take a chance when someone loves you
And you leave them with no pride
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me
Oh take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me

The Chance I Take

(tom littlefield/rick rowell)
Everyone says youll break my heart
Put out the fire before it starts
Youll string me along and then cut me loose
But I dont care what they say about you
My hearts got a history
Of letting love get the best of me
cause I cant hide the way I feel
When Im fallin in love its always head over heels
Its the chance I take
Its the chance I take
I bet it on this heart of mine
I might even get lucky this time
Let the chips fall where they may
Im a fool for love its the chance I take
Just when I say never again
Im throwin caution to the wind
Nothing ventured nothing gained
The only way to win is to stay in the game
Ive been on the looking end
But I still wanna love again
I sweep up the pieces when my heart breaks
Put it back together its the chance I take
Im a fool for love its the chance I take
Im a fool for love its the chance I take

I Aint The Fool

I may look like a stranger with nothing to say
Silent in the corner while youre talking away
Your theories are endless, your lips never sleep
No time for reflection, theres no tongue in your cheek
Oh no, I aint fool here
Oh no, I aint fool here
The muscles in your mouth must be stronger than steel
You can talk till forever but aint got no feel
Your scull must be empty, your brain cells run dry
Calling everybody
Learning nothing till the day that you die
Oh no, I aint fool here
Oh no, I aint fool here

Will There Be A Chance

Is there for me any chance,
That in my life...
I might witness,
A world in peace.

Is there for me any chance,
That in my life...
There would be people,
Living in harmony.

And is there any chance,
I might not have a need...
To suspect,
I'm deceived.
Or hated...
For who I am!
Or what it is I believe.

And will I hear rejoicing,
From voices surrounding me.
Is there any chance that people,
Will live in respect to give...
And receive.

Is there any chance,
People will awaken to see the light.
Any chance,
People one day will end all their fights.
Any chance.
And chance.
Any chance,
People will awaken to see the light.
Any chance,
People one day will end all their fights.
Any chance.
And chance.
Any chance!
Will there be a chance.

Any Other Fool

(dianne warren)
I couldnt see paradise right before my eyes
When I had you here by my side
I didnt know that no-one else
Could ever take your place
But, now I know
I know that I should have stayed
And seeing you tonight
I only wonder why
I ever said goodbye
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Any other fool would know I never
Should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, ahh, oh
Anyone else never would have let the feeling die
Anyone else would have fought to keep it alive
If they were in my shoes
Theyd know the love we had
Was love too good to lose
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Oh, any other fool would know
I never should have let you go
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, oh, oh
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Oh, any other fool would know
Never should have let you go
Had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Oh, oh, oh
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know
I never should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see

Jaques: A fool, a fool, I met a fool i' th' forest,
A motley fool. A miserable world!
As I do live by food, I met a fool,
Who laid him down and basked him in the sun
And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms,
In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
"Good morrow, fool," quoth I. "No, sir," quoth he,
"Call me not 'fool' till heaven hath sent me fortune."

Fools Hall Fame

Well if I live to be a hundred, I won't forget the day
I broke the heart you gave me and let you walk away
That's when they hung my name in the fool's hall of fame
Ah baby since we've been apart, I can't console my heart
It cries and cries all night long
Can't I ever make you see this change you've made in me
Just give me a chance to tell you I was wrong
Yes they say that you'll forgive me and end this misery
you know I'll keep on a beggin till you come back to me
don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
Ah baby since we've been apart I can't console my heart
it cries and cries all night long
Baby can't you ever see the change you've made in me
just give me a chance to tell you I was wrong
Yes they say that you'll forgive me and end this misery
You know I'll keep on beggin till you come back to me
don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame..2 xs

A Fool And His Money

The longer love survives
The more it's easy to be blind
When it is obvious it's over
I put my trust in you
I spent my love and I thought I knew
But now things just don't look the same
I paid the price with a love I thought was strong
Counting on you I was wrong
Just like a fool and his money
Just like a fool, I let it slip away
Just like a fool and his money
All the love has gone
You think everything's all right
But love can change that all over night
And the hand you hold is colder
And then your fortunes fade
You really need the gold that you've thrown away
And all you believed in has changed
I paid the price for leaving love to chance alone
Now I know this bird has flown
Just like a fool and his money
Just like a fool, I let it slip away
Just like a fool and his money
All the love has gone
As the rain pours down in a starless night
And my heart longs only for you
A fool to cry
Just like a fool and his money
A fool...
Just like a fool...

Last Chance

A cold day in december
And im still here alone
I look trough my window and I surrender
Should be gone
But I have no place to go
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
If there were someone
Id hold her
If there was love
Id let it take me away
But I just stay here alone
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
I feel nothing I feel no pain
I feel no joy nor hurt inside
I only have myself to blame
If I see that the worlds passed me by
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

Fool For You

My lady dont allow the life I lead
She dont abide by some of the company that I keep
She takes occasion to criticize, and carry on
I love her so, I just cant stand it no more
Im a fool for you babe, dont you know
Mess around momma, Im a fool for you mommaroo...
I should say
My baby knows that Im crazy bout her lovin
Thats alright, she takes unfair advantage now and then
She jumps at the chance to tease me with her body
Lord, I love that thing so
Just cant stand it no more
Im a fool for you babe
Look around Im a fool for you
Have a sweet thang today

Heaven Help

There comes a time
To be free of the heart
I wanna be ready
Ready to start
On a love journey
Got places to go
Made up my mind
And I have got to let you know

Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life
Heaven help the fool
That walks through my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love

A funny feeling's coming
Over me
Now I'm inspired and open to being
In a love place
But it's out of my hands
I'm telling you baby that you got to understand

Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life
Heaven help the fool
That walks though my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love
Ready for love

I can't see what's out there for me
And I know love offers no guarantee
I'll take a chance and I'm
Telling you something babe
I got to let you know

Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life
Heaven help the fool
That walks through my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love

Ready for love
Take a chance
Take the chance on love
The heart

One More Chance

If I could only relive yesterday
I think I'd try to do it right
If I had one more chance to be with you
I think it just might save my life
Chorus:
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
I'm caught it the same old world
And I just can't get my head unwhirled
And I'm looking for any old place to hide
I took a journey down thru paradise
I think I'd like to make it twice
I took another journey yesterday
I hope it just won't ruin my life
Chorus:
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, One more chance

Life is Ventriloquism

Life is cheap fiction novel filled wit bullshit and lies. Life is like a video game you play till u die but u only got one chance to succeed. Life is cheap and sometimes does not even feel real it feels like were puppets on the government’s leash. I wish that the dreams we have come true and you can be that super hero you wanted to be when u were five but no u have to work and do this and that but beside the point I rather work for a living than collect money on the streets or hustle your way out of debt. You control your life nobody else does so be happy if u have a successful life and keep living it graduate high school peruse the dreams u had as a little kid if that what u want. Don’t let any one tell you how to live your life. Because theirs is no better than yours. Like I said up above life if a video game u play till u die but u only get on chance. No ones life is better than anyone else is because we are all the same person. There’s a saying about life eat well stay fit die anyway. So in reality to the end of life another way or another we all going to die someway

Concrete Bed

Why is he there
too wasted to think
on a bed of concrete;
he needs one more drink.

Over night in jail
his punishment be
found crawling the streets
on bended knee.

He feels like a fool
the warden shakes his head
he was embarrassed and unclean
on a concrete bed.

He tossed and turned
till the new morn
with his face in his hands
cursed the day he was born.

Bail was posted
a fool took a chance
he’s a no good drunk
you can tell with one glance.

He’ll be back soon
on this concrete bed
with alcohol the culprit
he’ll wish he was dead.

A Fool Such As I

Now and then theres a fool such as i
Pardon me if Im sentimental, came to say goodbye
Dont be angry, dont be angry with me, should I cry
When you are gone, I will dream a little dream as years go by
Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as i.
Now and then theres a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now you happened to be untrue
I am a fool but I love you, dear, yes I will until the day I die.
Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as i.
Pardon me if Im sentimental, came to say goodbye
Dont be angry, dont be angry with me, should I cry
When you are gone, when you are gone, I will dream a little
I will dream as years go by
Now and then, now and then there is a fool, a fool such as i.
Now and then theres a fool, a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through
I am a fool, yes, but I love you dear, I will love you dear
Till the day, till the day I die
Now and then, now and then there is a fool, a fool such as i.
Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as i.
Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as i.

Try 3 (Chances)

In every breath there's a chance

to find yourself, to be loved
to fall in love and achieve greatness

A chance of failure,
disappointment and heart break

A chance of being helped back on your feet
or smack down over and over

A chance to heal a broken wing or
getting them plucked

A chance that most may never take flight
firing squad locked and loaded for the ones who do

Even at the risk of getting shot down
still try, if you fail, try and try again ‘till you learn to fly

Who Are We Trying To Fool?

Iris
I like to think my heart is just a muscle
A muscle that Ive learned to control
I figured, hell, one harmless midnight tussle
With you would rest quite easy on my soul
Now I see youre a tres, tres goddamn charmer
An actress is taught to be cool
But who am I trying to fool?
Paperman
Id like to toast your firm determination
But human natures got the best of me
Ive never forced myself upon a lady
Iris
Youre about as subtle as artillery
Paperman
Ive been here before and I have to admit
That I cant keep my cool
Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Paperman dont look for me to be your savior
Iris no good can come from this behavior
Sheila
This aint no mystery, look at our history
Its just another wild caribbean night
The rum and drums just bring out whats in us
Temptations been here since that very first bite
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
They should forget it, theyll both regret it
He wants a push, she needs a shove
Hes got a good wife, she hides a dark life
Fuel for combustion ? anger and love
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
Paperman
Life is for most of us one long postponement
Iris
If we think too much I guess well miss our chance
Paperman
Its our time, our night, our island, not our future
Iris its not the whole tamale, just one dance
Duet
So who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Lets break all of those goddamn kinja rules

Thanks Happenstance

I sat counting up all the blackeyes
i'd ever got
All the broken bones bloody noses
from all the battles i'd ever fought
Then I looked down at the top of my hands
With all their scars and scrapes
subway system of veins
Worn out skin from washing someone else's
greasy dish pans

And I laughed 'till I cried
cried 'till I laughed
Either way its all the same
for I was neither happy nor sad
Just thankful for all I'd ever had
And even though
I've not done much with it
I'm just thankful for the chance

So thank you God, thanks Allah
Thank you Buddah
Thanks Dad and Mom
Thanks luck, thank you chance
Thanks timing
Thank you kindly happenstance
Thank you all for a shot
I thank you all
I thank you so much for the chance

I sat counting up all the broken hearts
I'd ever got
All the broken dreams unrealized things
I'd ever sought
Then with my fingertips
I gently touched my face
I could feel the lines of worry, wrinkles of time
that no potion could ever hope to erase

I sat counting up all the bad news
i'd ever got
All the losing hands flus and colds
i'd ever caught
Then I reached down
put my hand upon my heart
And though battered tattered broken
sometimes torn apart
I was just thankful through it all
Never once did it ever just give up
and stop

And I laughed 'till I cried
cried 'till I laughed
Either way its all the same
for I was neither happy nor sad
Just thankful for all I'd ever had
And even though
I've not done much with it
I'm just so thankful for the chance

So thank you God, thanks Allah
Thank you Buddah
Thanks Dad and Mom
Thanks luck thank you chance
Thanks timing
Thank you kindly happenstance
Thank you all for a shot
I thank you all
I thank you so much for the chance

Till I Get It Right

(written by larry henley, red lane)
Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
Right now Im like a wounded bird
Hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough
Im bound to learn to fly
So Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
My door to love has opened out
More times than in
And Im either fool or wise enough
To open it again
Cause Ill never know whats beyond the mountain
Till I reach the other side
So Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
If practice makes perfect, then Im near about as perfect
As Ill ever be in my life
So Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
