Takin’ A Chance Lyrics by Whitney Houston

Japanese Singles Collection: Greatest Hits

1989

[Intro]
I'm takin' a chance
Haha
We'll see, we'll see (Woo)

[Verse 1]
There's a chance that maybe in this life I'll find
True love and peace of mind
There's a chance that maybe I can reach my goal
And soar to the other side
Good things come to those who wait
I'm just afraid that I might sit here and wait too late, so

[Chorus]
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
And no matter the price, I'll pay my dues
Oh, I'm takin' a chance on loving you
They tell me I'm crazy (I'm crazy)

[Verse 2]
There's a chance that maybe once I could be wrong
But wrong never felt so right
There's a chance that maybe I'm risking much too soon
But our hearts just fell in tune
Good things come to those who wait
I'm just afraid that I might sit here and wait too late, so

[Chorus]
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
No matter the price, I'll pay my dues
I'm taking a chance on loving you
They tell me I'm crazy, it's true
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
(I'm takin' a chance on loving you)
No matter the price, I'll pay my dues
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
They tell me I'm crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah

[Verse 3]
I don't know much about you
But I know I can't live without you
(I'm takin' a chance, oh yeah)
I am telling all my friends goodbye
My friends can't understand but
I know I've got to try
Here's my reason why
I'm in love, that's all I know (I know)

[Chorus]
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
No matter the price, I'll pay my dues (I'll pay my dues)
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
They tell me I'm crazy, it's true
They tell me I'm crazy
They tell me I'm crazy
They tell me I'm wrong
I'll pay my dues
I'm takin' a chance on loving you

[Outro]
They tell me I'm crazy
They tell me I'm crazy, it's true
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
No matter the price, I'll pay my dues
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
They tell me I'm crazy (I'm crazy)
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
No matter the price, I'll pay my dues
I'm takin' a chance on loving you
They tell me I'm crazy, it's true
