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 to 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

I don't believe in voodoo, black magic was never my style
But I believe that you do, and it won't take much time
To gather the portions that weave your magic spell, yeah
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
Yeah
