A single failure

A little slip

A misdemeanour

A little trip

Does this condemn me

Lock me away?

Before you turn the key

I have one more thing to say

To make amends

Maybe be friends



(chorus)

Everybody gets a second chance

The Circumstance to say I'm sorry

I'd like to tell you in advance

Take my chance and tell you

I'm sorry too



A little stumble

A little fall

Inconsequential

Nothing At All

Now there was someone

I heard him say

That the best laid plans

Sometimes go astray

So don't be surprised

If I offer you no alibis



(Chorus)



Everybody gets a second chance

The circumstance to say I'm sorry

I'd like to tell you in advance

I'll take my chance and tell you I

Take my chance and tell you

I love you



(2 Choruses with slight variations)



Everybody wants a

Everybody needs a

Everybody gets a second chance
