If you change your mind
I’m the first in line
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go
When you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try
Take a chance on me
That’s all I ask of you, honey
Take a chance on me
We can go dancing (oh)
We can go walking (yeah)
As long as we’re together (long as we’re together)
Listen to some music (oh)
Maybe just talking (yeah)
Get to know you better (get to know you better)
‘Cause you know I’ve got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I’m alone with you, it’s magic
You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair, but I think you know
That I can’t let go
If you change your mind
I’m the first in line
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go
When you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try
Take a chance on me
Come on, give me a break, will you?
Take a chance on me
Oh, you can take your time, baby (oh)
I’m in no hurry (yeah)
Know I’m gonna get you (know I’m gonna get you)
You don’t wanna hurt me (oh)
Baby, don’t worry (yeah)
I ain’t gonna let you (I ain’t gonna let you)
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough, it’s magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can’t get you off my mind, no, I can’t let go
‘Cause I love you so
If you change your mind
I’m the first in line
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go
If you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby, can’t you see?
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby, can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba, ba-ba
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby, can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me
