I Don't Want Diamond Rings
I know Im not worthy
not flirty
not your type
I know Im not pristine
I act mean
just to calm the hype
But if I had the chance
for romance
I know I could wipe
every smug look
condscending glance
with my chance
at romance
with the one who aims
to claim
me just as a friend
Im daydreaming again
Id rather pretend
these werent tears
but fears
at how things might end
Alicia says I aint got nothing
If I dont have you
and the Oracle says its true
Youre CHOSEN,
like Keanu, to be my boo
but popculture refrences
are only defenses
acting to make room
for someone new
Ill glady take reprieve from concentrating my life on you
I hate wasting time
It started when we were younger,
you were mine.
and it ends right now, Im older
I told her
itd never work with us
with that lack of trust
that you seem to posess
I regress
for all my ways, and my finangling
the ending to our story will leave you dangling...

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.

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

She pulled up close first glance I saw here eyes (what could be better)

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

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

One More Chance
Give me one more chance to prove my love.
I'll treat you the way you deserve.
I'll show you I'm worthy of your glory.
Together we'll live a beautiful story.
One more chance to find romance.
Without a single backward glance.
I'll prove to you that it's not through.
There's still so much we have to do.
I may not have been the greatest bloak.
Now I see why you had to go.
Now I ask for you to see.
I've made the changes that you need.
One more chance for a love so true.
My life makes no difference without you.
I wasn't always there to show I cared.
Now I want to repair the bond we shared.
Just one more chance I ask of you.
For forgiveness sake don't say it's through.
Just think of all the love we'll make.
Knowing that we're the best two mates,
to share in such a glorious fate.

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.

It Aint Easy
You make it all sound easy
Now youve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That youd found another man
But its hard to see
What you want from me
Its not easy to be in-between
Its now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
cause it aint what youve got
In the palm of your hand
And its not what youll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday mornings waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Dont keep the pages clean
Baby, now youve got this chance
Dont leave me out
Its so hard when
Youre in-between
What you need and
What may never be
It aint easy ...

Where Do I Go
Where do I go when all the stars leave the sky
And all the magic that you do
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
Where do I go when all the words turn to lies
And steal the feeling that we knew
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Please dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
Well, I got a chance (got a chance)
Well , no chance at all (no chance at all)
That I can make you understand
Oh, let there be a chance (be a day_
Oh , let there be a place (far away)
The love that you and I alone can live with us
The story that our children hear
One day , my love, (day my love)
That you , my love, were born to be by life
Where do I go when all the stars leave the sky
And all the magic that you do
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
(break)
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you
Where do I go when all the stars leave the sky
And all the magic that you do
That aint no way to say youre sorry
Wont fix my broken heart
Dont ever leave me girl
How can you leave me lovin you

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

Romance
You said you were through with romance
Why take a chance on anyone
Youre so beautiful too
I can tell by the way that you dance
They say that people dont change
Why rearrange the original
You do something to me
That my eyes cannot see at a glance
Signs of a new beginning
Signs of a life worth living
The better to forget than to be all that upset
Its the time to taste the wine
And maybe someday things will change
And come with in range and be laughable
Everything is okay
I can tell by the way that you dance
They say that people dont try
Thats just a lie, they work miracles
Its a gift from above
When we talk about love and romance
Signs of a new tomorrow
Signs of a life without sorrow
The better to forget than to be all that upset
Its the time to taste the wine
And maybe this time you will be
Romantic like me when Im with you
And I think you might say
I can tell by the way that you dance
They say that people dont change
Like home on the range, its original
You do something to me
That my eyes cannont see at a glance
You do something to me
When we talk about love and romance

The Way You Want Me
Wont throw no shade on you
Dont wanna put you through
Those lies you lived before
Girl, I can give you more
Baby take my hand
And try to understand
That Ill be here for you
Just the way you want me to
Feel like youre wasting all of your time
Youre going out of your mind
From all the tears youve been crying
And I know all the things hes putting you through
The cheating no one can prove
You never know what to do, yeah
Just tell me what you feel inside
Dont be consumed by foolish pride
cause I can see with my two eyes
The pain that youve been holding tight
Its time that you begin to feel
The kind of love thats really real, yeah
Girl, let me tell you the deal
[chorus]
Its time for you to decide
What you want from your life
No room for compromise
cause I can give you everything that you need
Open your eyes and youll see
That I can set you free, baby
So come to me with your broken heart
Youll feel the love from the very start
I think its time for you to part
From a man that leaves you in the dark
Youre the type that needs romance
Someone to break you from your trance
Now baby here is your chance

Dont Leave Me
Youre sweet just like the sun
But what happens when the sun doesnt stay?
The night reminds me when you went away
Now my mind was pacing, heart is racing contemplating things that I lack
Even though you left me by myself, do I want you back?
Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
Im giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then shell stay
Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Dont look back
Leave me once and Ill be fine
Leave me twice Ill make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
As the days go by, I am asking why did you leave
You left me alone and then you walked out on me
Thinking of days, thinking of ways, thhinking of things that I should say
I wanna be with you and thats the only way
Dont say good-bye, just dry your eyes
A tear for everything that I did wrong
Dont say goodbye, just dry your eyes
Listen now just try and see me please dont leave me now.

Hello To Romance
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
She walked into the room just like a dream
I was spellbound into silence
Do you know the way it feels
The rocknroll changed to a symphony
Appearing just like magic
But I knew that she was real
Then something deep inside of me
Said go ahead and try
Aint no use in holdin back
Dont kiss the chance goodbye
Hello to romance
Is it goodbye to those one night stands
Where you get what you want
Such a crazy steal
Hello to romance
Hello to romance
I walked across the room to say hello
She raised her head and smiled at me
I knew which way to go
Once she spoke sweet music filled my ears
For hours and hours and hours we talked
Time seemed to disappear
Verse 2
Chorus
When you see the chance to win romance
Act before it slips away
Dont wait until tomorrow
To hear yourself say
I shouldve done it yesterday
Shouldve done it yesterday

Complain (What I Hate)
I hate your friend
I hate the scorn
I hate the fact my heart is torn
I hate you for showing me love
when reality is that you are involved
I hate that I come between you two
I hate your friend for hating me
I hate that i'm so attracting
I hate feeling this way for you
way you touch and hold me, feels like heaven
I hate it but the reality is I love you
Stories on end of the romance shared
love leads us back to day one
I hate loving you all over again
I hate that I can't love you as I want
I hate that fate leaves us with no chance
I'd fantasized of a true romance
I hate the fact that you're not mine
This is no fun because you're involved
I hate that I love you so much
I hate that I yearn to feel your touch
I hate it but could never deny my love
I'm hanging on, just can't get enough
I hate being in love with you
when you belong to someone else
I'm aware you feel zero affection
when it's I who you love the most
I hate the circumstances that's a hindrance to our happiness

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

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.
