If I were an only child, I would be a lonely child
But baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance, I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong, I'll raise my voice
If it means we'll be together for a while
I have never had a doubt But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me and then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security for just the possibility
that we could be together for a while
CHORUS:
If you said, Jump! I'd say, How high?
If you said, Run! I'd run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together for a while
I am taken by your strength, I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now but there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things, I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings
Then we could be together for a while
CHORUS
Wait'll I tell my guy
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy
And ya know what? that depends...
'Cause I'm crazy in love with you
And everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes will not come true
But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once
And if you said, Jump!; I'd say,How high?
If you said Run! You know I'd fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together for a while
There are no guarantees
But if it means there's even a possibility
Then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together for a while
CHORUS 2x
Don't you know that we could be together for a while
But baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance, I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong, I'll raise my voice
If it means we'll be together for a while
I have never had a doubt But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me and then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security for just the possibility
that we could be together for a while
CHORUS:
If you said, Jump! I'd say, How high?
If you said, Run! I'd run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
