Lyrics
I feel my life slipping away
I look to the sky
And everything is turnin' gray
All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
When love makes this sound babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you 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
So this is love
Standing in the pouring rain
I fooled on you
But she never meant a thing
And I know I ain't got no right
To ask you to sympathize
But why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget the past
When love makes this sound babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you 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
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
Yeah, you been gone and I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye
Please forgive me and forget it
I was wrong and I admit it
But 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 this sound babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
You 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
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound babe
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound babe
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
