I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride I take the chance to be with you I've tried to live my life the best I can I've prayed I'd never cheat to heed my heart's command But dear you know to one I've been untrue I wonder if you think I'd do the same by you I take the chance of causing you to doubt my love I take the chance to be with you I know it's wrong for us to steal a kiss And when you hold me in your arms I can't resist I have a home and someone kind and true I know I'd lose it all if I was seen with you I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride I take the chance to be with you
