Lyrics Earth, Wind & Fire

Earth, Wind & Fire

Takin' Chances

I like walkin' in the park late at night

tryin' to run my motor down

everybody says I live a dangerous life

I've got to get ahead somehow

out here on the street just tryin' to get my own

don't tell me what you think you know

ooh, most people spend their time at home alone

just waitin' for a check that won't show

Chorus:

takin' chances

no risk, no gain

takin' chances

I really don't mind the pain

takin' chances

if you only knew

takin' chances

it's all for the love of you

I don't like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)

cause once you start you'll never stop

one advantage to doing things my own way

I'll always end up on top

Chorus

Bridge:

I've got to do it right, ooh I've got to

I've got to live my life the way I want to

I'm high up on a wire, don't wanna ever come down

and if I fall I've got to fly

Chorus
