when the moon rises, the dogs will howl
look out of your window, i'll be on the prowl
i'm not usually a gambling man
but oh i just wanna hold up my hands

and say i'm taking a chance on you love
woah i'm taking a chance on you love

i'm not superstitious and i don't wear no charm
i don't carry my heart on the sleeve of my arm
seven years of bad luck, please, don't worry me
'cause when i look in the mirror, here's the future i see

i'm taking a chance on you love
woah, i'm taking a chance on you love

place your bets, better yet
don't forget, what i said
roll the dice, spin the wheel
always remember, you've got to keep it real

don't believe in voodoo, black magic was never my style
but i believe you do, and it won't take much time
to gather the portions that weave your magic spell
the moon on the ocean has a secret to tell

but anyway i'm taking a chance on you love
woah i'm taking a chance on you love
woah i'm taking a chance on you love
