lyrics

ONE CHANCE

I had the chance of a lifetime but I blew it
The people round me they don’t know how I do it
I could’ve had your affection and I knew it
Just had to bowl it straight and sister I threw it

(And the devil said)
One chance – who do you think you are?
One chance, one dance with the superstar
One chance, if you want to hold the cards
Hi heel, piecemeal, I deal

(And the devil said)
One chance – get on your bike and ride
One chance to do what you do inside
One chance – if you’re gonna lead the pack
Play the ace not the jack, don’t look back

I keep on thinking ‘bout the wino on the corner
He looked at me like a fish cold out of water
The change was dancing in my pocket doing bossa nova
A passer by looked me up and I crossed over rover, over

(And the devil said)
One chance – who do you think you are?
One chance, one dance with the movie star
One chance, if you want to hold the cards
Hi heel, piecemeal, I deal

(And the devil said)
One chance – get on your bike and ride
One chance to do what you do inside
One chance – if you’re gonna lead the pack
Play the ace not the jack, don’t look back

(And the devil said)
One chance – get on the street my son
One chance to do what you’ve just begun
One chance – if you’re gonna lead the pack
Play the ace not the jack, don’t look back
