Take A Chance On Me
Stellan Skarsgard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be around
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try
Take a chance on me
(that's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing
We can go walking
As long as we're together
Listen to some music
Maybe just talking
You'd get to know me better
'cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be around
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try
Take a chance on me
(come on, give me a break will ya)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby
I'm in no hurry
I know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me
Baby don't worry
I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'cause I love you so

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be around
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see




Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me

That's my only request from you, my dear


We can go dancing

Maybe just talking
Perhaps we could converse


You'd get to know me better

My affection is powerful


To last when things are rough
To endure when times are difficult


You say that I waste my time
You claim that I'm wasting my time


But I can't get you off my mind
But I can't stop thinking about you


No I can't let go
No, I can't release my hold on you


'cause I love you so
Because I love you immensely


Baby can't you see
Sweetheart, can't you understand


Gotta put me to the test
You must challenge me


Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity to demonstrate my worth

When everyone is jumping up and down and the water from the Fountain of Aphrodite just bursts up and out of the ground, it gives me goosebumps. The way the music was edited for that whole part makes it even better.

Is one of the best moment in the movie....I love that part, and that they dance, happy, carefree...

Mamma mia is one of the movies that does not cease to make me smile every time I watched it :D, every time I rewatch a clip from the film, I cannot help but laugh and grin--a big round of applause to the spectacular cast; Meryl Streep, Julie Walters (she is honestly the funniest character in this story XD), Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper and all the people who brought life to this amazing musical :D Cannot wait for the magic they will do in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!
