Takin' Chances

I like walkin' in the park late at night Tryin' to run my motor down Everybody says I live a dangerous life I've got to get ahead somehow Out here on the street just tryin' to get my own Don't tell me what you think you know Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone Just waitin' for a check that won't show [Chorus] Takin' chances No risk, no gain Takin' chances I really don't mind the pain Takin' chances If you only knew Takin' chances It's all for the love of you I don't like to listen to what people say (uh-huh) 'Cause once you start you'll never stop One advantage to doing things my own way I'll always end up on top [Chorus] I've got to do it right, Ooh I've got to I've got to live my life The way I want to I'm high up on a wire, Don't want to ever come down And if I fall I've got to fly
