Would You Take Another Chance on MeJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Bill Rice Jerry Foster

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

If I promise you to straighten up and put my life in order
If I swear to you woman on bended knees I won't hurt you again
If I become the kind of man that you want me to be
Would you take another chance on me
The good Lord knows I've done you wrong I've asked him to forgive me
Deep inside I think you would darlin' if you could do the same
If I could take back all the things that caused you misery
Would you take another chance on me
Would you take another chance on me I've paid for my mistakes
Would you take another chance on me or have I changed too late
Mhm I've been a fool woman for hurting you but can't you see I'm sorry
If only you were mine again I'd make it up to you
But my past keeps blindin' you if you could only see
Would you take another chance on me (think about that darling)

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
