You know people ask me sometimes They say why do you like to have A lot of love around you All them men and all them people Lovin' on you and hangin' on you Well, you see I've come to know That love is my best friend Love don't owe me nothin' And love gives me anythin' I want If somebody wants to be nice to me I'm gonna let 'em be nice to me Yes, I will Yes, I will How many times have you been in love? That it hurt you so Before you really knew What was happenin' Till it was too late To be concerned So the story goes You live and you learn Well, well, well Though I am sad as can be Can loneliness destroy what's in me So I'll take a chance on love But win or lose I won't say that I'm sorry I'll take a chance on love Cause with love You always stand a chance to lose You made me feel so good inside You upset my world with your peace of mind It's not the pain that I felt inside I gotta get some chance Wanna take one more ride So I'll take a chance on love But win or lose I won't say that I'm sorry I'll take a chance on love Cause with love You always stand a chance to lose.
