[Verse 1]
If I told you I was yours, you'd probably label me a "bore"
Maybe I'm just trying way too hard to keep you
You're an angel and I'm blessed
So I am trying to do my best
Want you to know how very nice it was to meet you
So much time I spend to find something that I could call mine
Something real, out of all these phony people
And I know our past is tainted
It's a shame, now baby, ain't it?
But I'm willing, if you're willing
I'll be see through
[Chorus]
Can you take this chance on me?
(You won't regret it; c'mon and get it)
Love is like the lottery
(Yeah, we had issues; can we dismiss those?)
Can you take this chance on me?
(You won't regret it; c'mon and get it)
[Verse 2]
You're the only one I see
Yeah, we had issues
Can we dismiss those?
If to you I am indebted, don't expect you to forget it
But it's only gonna stop us if we let it
Yeah, it hit me like a gunshot
And from then 'til my burial plot
I'mma roll these dice until I hit the jackpot
Baby, I know I learned my lesson
Love was never my profession
I'm just learning as we're growing and progressing
No, I never meant to hurt you
It's myself, I didn't virtue
Now my mind is ready to give our love nurture
[Chorus]
Can you take this chance on me?
(You won't regret it; c'mon and get it)
Love is like the lottery
(Yeah, we had issues; can we dismiss those?)
Can you take this chance on me?
(You won't regret it; c'mon and get it)
[Outro]
You're the only one I see
Yeah, we had issues
Can we dismiss those?
If I told you I was yours, you'd probably label me a "bore"
Maybe I'm just trying way too hard to keep you
You're an angel and I'm blessed

Can you take this chance on me?
