Give a Little Take a Little (A.K.A. Give and take) Songtext
von Jimmy Cliff

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
'Cause 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 ba, ba ba ba ba ba
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 ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Honey I'm still free take a chance on me
