|
Just one more chance |
|
To prove it's you alone I care for |
|
Each night I say a little prayer for |
|
Just one more chance |
|
Just one more night |
|
To taste the kisses that enchant me |
|
I'd want no others if you'd grant me |
|
Just one more chance |
|
I've learned the meaning of repentance |
|
Now you're the jury at my trial |
|
I know that I should serve my sentence |
|
Still, I'm hoping all the while |
|
You'll give me |
|
Just one more word |
|
I said that I was glad to start out |
|
But now I'm back to cry my heart out |
|
For just one more chance |
|
We spend our lives in groping for happiness |
|
I found it once and tossed it aside |
|
I paid for it with hours of loneliness |
|
I've nothing to hide |
|
I'd bury my pride for... |
|
(mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) |
