Just one small chance
Give me your love
Just one small chance, ooh, baby, yeah
Give me one little chance
To prove my love, prove my love, alright
You may think that I'm a stranger But I'll soon prove that you're the one who holds my heart, ey-yeh
Live my love, you can depend on
And if you do I'll make all your dreams come true
Please let me give my love to you
Just one small chance, I will not leave you lonely
Just one small chance to prove my love
Just one small chance, whatever the price I will pay
Just one small chance, yeh-yeh-yeh
There's a flower on the hillside
Shinin' bright like the sun up in the sky, ooh, yeh-yeh
Like our love cold be tomorrow, just let go
Ain't no need to question why
Please let me prove my love to you
Just one small chance, I will not leave you lonely
Just one small chance to prove my love
Just one small chance, whatever the price I will pay
Just one small chance
Receive my love
Girl, you know it's you that I'm thinking of
This restless life for me is good and done
Please believe in my love
You're the one I need to hold me
Girl you're so fine, always on my mind
Me say me love to love you in the sweet sunshine
Me say me love you, yes, girl, me love you, be true
Give me one more chance and I will prove it to you
You know what is right
No possible way this could be wrong
So give me your heart now, baby
Let us build our love up strong
Let's not limit ourselves
We can feel our true desires
Let them all flow
Don't you kill the fire
Won't you give me just one small chance, I will not leave you lonely
Just one small chance to prove my love
Just one small chance, whatever the price I will pay
Just one small chance, ooh, baby, yeh-yeh
Just one small chance, I'll be your full-time lover
Just one small chance, your knight in shining armor
Just one small chance, ooh...baby
Just one small chance, ooh, your love
Ooh, give me one little chance, alright
Yeh, give me one little chance
A little little piece of your love
Just one more chance
