Second Chances Lyrics by B.J. Thomas

Midnight Minute

1989

Maybe some things are just meant to be
No matter how bad they begin
There's something about you I can't live without
Who can say how you got under my skin

Nothing with us comes the easy way
No matter how hard that we try
No match made in heaven
Could be this uneven
I know, so only heaven knows why

You've got me taking second chances
Like I swore I'd never do
Every day goes by
I find a reason why

I should believe in you
You've got me making second glances
And I'm liking what I see
Second chances never looked so good to me

Half of me says I should run to you
Half of me says run away
Half of me wants what the other half tells me is wrong
So how did you ever
Get me this way

You've got me taking second chances
Like I swore I'd never do
Every day goes by
I find a reason why

I should believe in you
You've got me making second glances
And I'm liking what I see
Second chances never looked so good to me

Oh oh oh
Oh oh

Making second glances
And I'm liking what I see
Second chances never looked so good to me
Oh oh no
Second chances never looked so good to me

Like I swore I'd never do
Every day goes by
I find a reason why
I should believe in you

You've got me making second glances
And I'm liking what I see
Second chances never looked so good to me
Oh like I swore I'd never do
Every day goes by
I find a reason why...
