Take A Chance On Me Lyrics
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 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, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'Cos 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, 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 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, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, 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
'Cos 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 baa, ba ba ba ba baa
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 baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

Honey I'm still free

This is one of those songs where you're sitting at a bar and you look over at this goddess and you know that she is out of your league. Meanwhile you scurry to the bathroom as the chicken wings and lager have caught up to you and her intensity is frazzling you simultaneously. Going to the restroom the song is still playing and the dart throwers shout a derogatory remark at you for something that happened years ago. Staring into the portal, you think that this is an American Standard (love this Swedish rock band), but it's your eyes playing tricks. Going back to your spot, she has left. Great song.
this song is amazing! If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown so good. it means to me once all the pretty girls have gone away , will you notice me then!? love it! xo
this song is about a girl saying to a guy, look at me, i like you, come and ask me out!
:$i love this song!!! i jus wanna go up to the guy i like and play it
I remember an episode of Angry Beavers where they had this satire of Abba with sheep called "Baba" and they did a satire/parody of song.
Heh.
Anyway, out of ABBA's ultra popular songs this is probably my favorite.
this song is amazing! If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown so good. it means to me once all the pretty girls have gone away , will you notice me then!? love it! xo
The Nils Landgren's Funk Unit version is also great.
