Lyrics Ethel Waters

Ethel Waters

Taking A Chance On Love

Here I go again

I'm hearing trumpets blow again

All aglow again

Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again

About to take that ride again

Starry eyed again

Taking a chance on love

I thought the cards were a frame-up

That I never would try

But now I'm taking the game up

And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mendin' now

I see a rainbow blendin' now

We'll have our happy ending now

Taking a chance on love

Here I slip again

I'm gonna take that tip again

Got my grip again

Taking a chance on love

Now I prove again

That I can make life move again

In a groove again

Taking a chance on love

I'm walkin' 'round with a horseshoe

And in clover I lie

Why Mister Rabbit, off course you

Better kiss your foot goodbye

On the ball again

I'm ridin' for a fall again

I'm gonna give my all again

Taking a chance on love

Here I sink again

I'm getting in the pink again

On the brink again

Taking a chance on love

This game I'm taking a crack at

Sure needs good luck with me

And so I'm taking a whack at

Any black cat that I see

Boy, I'm booked again

I'm in the swim and hooked again

This goose of mine is cooked again

Taking a chance on love
