I know that, there is nothing I can do,
To make you know me, any better than you do,
There's all that time, and those things that we've been through,
I think it all may have been different,
If I just had said to you, and made it true,
You can take a chance but before you do....

You should know, that I'm lazy and I'm tired,
But in a crisis, I'm stronger than the fire,
And when I'm lonely, it's best not to inquire,
I've never had that much ambition,
I can be a little dire, and I'll slash a tire....
But you can take a chance if you desire....
And i guess I'm feeling like,
I should've said these things back then,
And that maybe you were thinking,
That I was better than I am,
And though I know you've been loving me,
You may have been misled,
So these are all the things I should've said....

I'm possessive, and I'm jealous, and I'm snide,
I get threatened, and tied-up all inside,
I won't run away, but sometimes I will hide,
Away into some place that I only I can find, and I've never cried,
But you can take a chance if you decide...

I've been beat up, and wrestled to the ground,
And I will be the toughest fight that you have found,
But I will love you too, and i'll turn you all around,
Turn up the heat, and I won't turn it down, or make a sound,
And you can take a chance, pound for pound....

And i guess I'm feeling like,
I should've said these things back then,
And that maybe you were thinking,
That I was better than I am,
And though I know you've been loving me,
You may have been misled,
So these are all the things I should've said....

I can share things, but I can take what's mine,
And I get defensive, when I can't compromise,
And I may not seem it, but I can cross the line,
And make you feel like I am leaving you behind, but I hope you'll find,
That you can take a chance on me sometime,
Yeah you can take a chance on me sometime,
Can't you take a chance on me this time?
