Lady Took A Chance

(Thorpe)

Alright
Oh, don't play with fire again
The pain becomes your only friend
You must see now a circle growing
Back to the point of soul determined
You take your chance when you play the game
Roll the dice 'cause you're allowed to win
Pick your number in back of the line
Check in the shorts for a holiday plan
Is to wear the shortest axe
You can do it again, yeah
* Well the lady took a chance
But there is no guarantees in romance
Although you may respect her
Your love will not protect her
The boys beat color others black and blue
Changes that you put me through
Know the hate all end up the same
The time has come to make me pray
You take your chance when you play the game
Roll the dice 'cause you're allowed to win
Pick your number in back of the line
Shark skin jacket with a tortoise in his pocket
She was never going anywhere
You ain't never coming back with her
(* Repeat)
The lady took a chance
And she lost lost lost lost lost
The lady took a chance
She really took a chance
The lady took a chance
She really took a chance
She lost
The lady took a chance
She really lost the fight
She stretched a little harder
Just to fleece her appetite
Yeah
The lady took a chance
She really took a chance
It all slipped away
In a voodoo dance
Tonight oh yeah
Ice cold day with sordid twitch
You can eat it on the run
Or you rub it on a stick tonight
(* Repeat)
