Take A Chance On Me

 

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 got no place to go when 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
you’d get to know me 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 got no place to go when 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 ya) take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby I’m in no hurry
I 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 ’cause 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 got no place to go when 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

 

Pa-papa-pa pa, Pa-papa-pa papapa

honey I’m still free take a chance on me

Pa-papa-pa pa, Pa-papa-pa papapa...

 

 

I'm A Marionette

 

You’re so free

that’s what everybody’s telling me

yet I feel I’m like an outward bound

pushed around refugee
Something’s wrong

got a feeling that I don’t belong
as if I have come from out

of space out of place, like King-Kong

I’m a marionette just a marionette pull the string
I’m a marionette everybody’s pet just as long as I sing
I’m a marionette see my pirouette ’round and ’round
I’m a marionette I’m a marionette just a silly old clown

Like a doll

like a puppet with no will at all

and somebody taught me how to talk how to walk, how to fall
Can’t complain

I’ve got no one but myself to blame

something’s happening I can’t control lost my hold, it’s insane

I’m a marionette just a marionette pull the string
I’m a marionette everybody’s pet just as long as I sing
I’m a marionette see my pirouette ’round and ’round
I’m a marionette I’m a marionette just a silly old clown

Look this way

just a little smile that’s what they say

you’ll look better on the photograph

if you laugh, that's Ok

I’m a marionette just a marionette pull the string
I’m a marionette everybody’s pet just as long as I sing
I’m a marionette see my pirouette ’round and ’round
I’m a marionette I’m a marionette just a silly old clown

You’re so free

that’s what everybody’s telling me

yet I feel I’m like an outward bound

pushed around refugee
