ETHEL WATERS
"Taking A Chance On Love"
(Vernon Duke / Ted Fetter / John Latouche)

Here I go again
I'm hearing trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love

I thought the cards were a frame-up
That I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mendin' now
I see a rainbow blendin' now
We'll have our happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

Here I slip again
I'm gonna take that tip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love

Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In a groove again
Taking a chance on love

I'm walkin' 'round with a horseshoe
And in clover I lie
Why Mister Rabbit, off course you
Better kiss your foot goodbye

On the ball again
I'm ridin' for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Here I sink again
I'm getting in the pink again
On the brink again
Taking a chance on love

This game I'm taking a crack at
Sure needs good luck with me
And so I'm taking a whack at
Any black cat that I see

Boy, I'm booked again
I'm in the swim and hooked again
This goose of mine is cooked again
Taking a chance on love
