If you don't want to run around, if you would really settle down
I'll take a chance on loving you
If you will be my very own, if you'll be mine and mine alone
I'll take a chance on loving you

Now there's lots of pretty girls in this wide wide world
But none I've seen can hold a light to you
You're the cutest the sweetest the nicest and the neatest
And I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

If you don't want to run around, if you would really settle down
I'll take a chance on loving you
If you will be my very own, if you'll be mine and mine alone
I'll take a chance on loving you

--- Instrumental ---

Now did you really mean it or did I just dream it
When you said I was the one for you
Now don't make me regret it, too late to forget it
The day that I fell in love with you

If you don't want to run around, if you would really settle down
I'll take a chance on loving you
If you will be my very own, if you'll be mine and mine alone
I'll take a chance on loving you
