|
If I were an only child |
|
I would be a lonely child but baby we've got nothing to lose |
|
I'm standing tall in my own shoes |
|
I'll take this chance |
|
I'll make this choice |
|
I'll right this wrong |
|
I'll raise my voice if it means |
|
We'll be together for a while [VERSE 2:] |
|
I have never had a doubt |
|
But for you |
|
I'll take time out |
|
I'll push his love far away from me and then |
|
I'll be completely free |
|
I'll give up my security for just the possibility that we could be together for a while [CHORUS:] |
|
If you said "Jump!" |
|
I'd say "How high?" |
|
If you said "Run!" |
|
I'd run and fly |
|
Just for the chance |
|
Just for the moment |
|
Should the moment pass us by and if you ask once |
|
I'll tell you twice |
|
I'll ignore the world's advice if we could be together for a while [VERSE 3:] |
|
I am taken by your strength |
|
I've thought about it at great length |
|
I thought that |
|
I was happy now but there are things that |
|
I found out |
|
Happiness means greater things |
|
I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings then we could be together for a while [CHORUS] [BRIDGE:] |
|
Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell) |
|
Wait'll I tell my other friends |
|
They'll all think |
|
I'm crazy- and ya know what? |
|
That depends... 'cause |
|
I'm crazy in love with you and everyone's best won't do |
|
They'll say my hopes will not come true |
|
But I'm taking the chance |
|
Because you only live once- |
|
Only live once (only live once) |
|
And... If you said "Jump!" |
|
I'd say "How high?" |
|
If you said "Run!" |
|
You know I'd fly |
|
Just for the chance |
|
Just for the moment |
|
Should the moment pass us by and if you ask once |
|
I'll tell you twice |
|
I'll ignore the world's advice if we could be together for a while [BRIDGE:] |
|
There are no guarantees but if it means there's even a possibility then |
|
I'll give up whatever it takes |
|
I know I've made some mistakes before |
|
It may be just another closed door |
|
But we could be together for a while |
|
If you said "Jump!" |
|
I'd say "How high?" |
|
If you said "Run!" |
|
I'd run and fly |
|
Just for the chance |
|
Just for the moment |
|
Should the moment pass us by |
|
Ask me once |
|
I'll tell you twice, |
|
You know I'll ignore the world's advice if we could be together for a while [CHORUS] |
|
Don't you know that we could be together for a while. |
