Takin' Chances
I like walkin' in the park late at night
Tryin' to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
I've got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin' to get my own
Don't tell me what you think you know (think you know)
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin' for a check that won't show (yeah, yeah)
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
I don't like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
'Cause once you start, you'll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
I'll always end up on top (huh! Ow! Hey!)
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
(Oh, sing, ow!)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (oh, baby, yeah)
I've got to do it right
I've got to live my life the way I want to
I'm high up on a wire (don't wanna ever come down)
And if I fall, I've got to fly
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Tryin' to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
I've got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin' to get my own
Don't tell me what you think you know (think you know)
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin' for a check that won't show (yeah, yeah)
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
I don't like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
'Cause once you start, you'll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
I'll always end up on top (huh! Ow! Hey!)
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
(Oh, sing, ow!)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (oh, baby, yeah)
I've got to do it right
I've got to live my life the way I want to
I'm high up on a wire (don't wanna ever come down)
And if I fall, I've got to fly
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Takin' chances (no risk, no gain)
Takin' chances (I really don't mind the pain)
Takin' chances (if you only knew)
Takin' chances (it's all for the love of you)
Oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, oh-oh
