Verse 1:
When the moon rises, the dogs will howl
Look out of your window, I’ll be on the prowl
I’m not usually a gambling man
But, oh, I just wanna hold up my hands and say

Chorus:
I’m taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I’m taking a chance on you, love

Verse 2:
I’m not superstitious and I don’t wear no charm
I don’t carry my heart on the sleeve of my arm
Seven years of bad luck, please, don’t worry me
‘Cause when I look into the mirror, here’s the future I see

Chorus:
I’m taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I’m taking a chance on you, love

Verse 3:
Place your bets, better yet
Don’t forget what I said
Roll the dice, spin the wheel
Always remember, you’ve got to keep it real

Verse 4:
I don’t believe in voodoo, black magic was never my style
But I believe that you do, and it won’t take much time
To gather the potions that weave your magic spell (Yeah)
The moon on the ocean has a secret to tell

Chorus:
But, anyway, I’m taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I’m taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I’m taking a chance on you, love
Ha ha, yeah
