Take A Chance

Everyday and every night

I stare at your name

A box open, thinking of all the things i could say

Something witty, hoping to draw a smile

Or something flirty, hoping to draw a blush

To the beautiful face of the beautiful girl

That has my thoughts in a scramble

 

I have never been this unsure

Of how to approach a girl

And the thought of you frightens me

Because I don't know what you've heard

About the things I did, but worse

The things I would never do

That were spread around like the gospel truth

 

I want you to love me

Because two is better than one

And our pair would be the happiest around

But I can't pull the trigger

And set the wheels in motion

Because this heart can't bear another rejection

So I am begging God, that you, darling, will take a chance on me
