Taking a Chance on Love Songtext
von Ethel Waters

Here I go again
I′m hearing trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love

I thought the cards were a frame-up
That I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mendin′ now
I see a rainbow blendin' now
We'll have our happy ending now
Taking a chance on love


Here I slip again
I′m gonna take that tip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love

Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In a groove again
Taking a chance on love

I′m walkin' ′round with a horseshoe
And in clover I lie
Why Mister Rabbit, off course you
Better kiss your foot goodbye

On the ball again
I'm ridin′ for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Here I sink again
I′m getting in the pink again
On the brink again
Taking a chance on love


This game I'm taking a crack at
Sure needs good luck with me
And so I'm taking a whack at
Any black cat that I see

Boy, I′m booked again
I′m in the swim and hooked again
This goose of mine is cooked again
Taking a chance on love
