INTRO: VERSE 1: Since you've been gone, I feel my life slipping away. I look to the sky, and everything is turning gray. All I made was one mistake, how much more will I have to pay. CHORUS: W/why can't you think it over. Why can't you forget about the past? When love makes a sound babe, a heart needs a second chance. Don't put me down babe, can't you see I love you. Since you've been gone I've been in a trance. This heart needs a second chance. Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye. VERSE 2: (lead-in: ) So this is love, standing in the pouring rain. I've called on you. 'Cause she never meant a thing. All I know I ain't got the right to ask you to sympathize. But ... (to CHORUS) BRIDGE: (lead-in: ) I never loved her. I never needed her. She was willing and that's all there is to say. Don't forsake me, please don't leave me now. A heart needs a second chance. INSTRUMENTAL: FINAL VERSE/CHORUS: Please forgive me and forget it. I was wrong and I admit it. Why can't we talk it over, why can't we forget about, forget about the past. A heart needs a second chance. When love makes a sound babe, a heart needs a second chance. Don't put me down babe. Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance. This heart needs a second chance. Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye. REPEAT AND FADE: (lead-in: ) A heart needs a second chance. When love makes a sound babe.
