[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida, Benny & Björn]
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you got no place to go when you're feeling down
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
[Post-Chorus: Agnetha & Frida, Agnetha]
Take a chance on me
That's all I ask of you honey
Take a chance on me
[Verse 1: Agnetha & Frida, Benny & Björn]
We can go dancing, we can go walking
As long as we're together (As long as we're together)
Listen to some music, maybe just talking
Get to know you better (Get to know you better)
[Pre-Chorus: Agnetha, Agnetha & Frida]
'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
[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida, Benny & Björn]
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you got no place to go when you're feeling down
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)
[Post-Chorus: Agnetha & Frida, Agnetha]
Take a chance on me
Come on, give me a break, will you?
Take a chance on me
[Verse 2: Agnetha & Frida, Benny & Björn]
Oh, you can take your time, baby, I'm in no hurry
Know I'm gonna get ya (Know I'm gonna get ya)
You don't wanna hurt me, baby, don't worry
I ain't gonna let you (I ain't gonna let ya)
[Pre-Chorus: Agnetha, Agnetha & Frida]
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
[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida, Benny & Björn]
