Verse 1:

If I were an only child

I would be a lonely child

but baby we've got nothing to lose

I'm standing tall in my own shoes

I'll take this chance

I'll make this choice

I'll right this wrong

I'll raise my voice

if it means

We'll be together

for a while



Verse 2:

I have never had a doubt

But for you I'll take time out

I'll push his love far away from me

and then I'll be completely free

I'll give up my security

for just the possibility

that WE COULD BE TOGETHER

for a while



Chorus:

If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"

If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly

Just for the chance

Just for the moment

Should the moment pass up by

and if you ask once I'll tell you twice

I'll ignore the world's advice

if WE COULD BE TOGETHER

for a while



Verse 3:

I am taken by your strength

I've thought about it at great length

I thought that I was happy now

but there are things that I found out

Happiness means greater things

I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings

then WE COULD BE TOGETHER

for a whlie



Bridge A:

Wait'll I tell my guy

Wait'll I tell my other friends

They'll all think I'm crazy-

and ya know what?

That depends...

'cause I'm crazy in love

with you

and everyone's best won't do

They'll say my hopes

will not come true

But I'm taking the chance

Because you only live once-

(Only live once, only live once)

And...



Bridge B:

There are no guarantees

but if it means

there's even a possibility

then I'll give up whatever it takes

I know I've made some mistakes before

It may be just another closed door

But WE COULD BE TOGETHER

for a while
