That’s The Chance You Take - Etta James

Once I had a love

That I thought was true

But now he’s gone

With somebody, somebody new

This one and no one else, oh no

Could ever take my place

That’s just the chance

Oh, you got to take

The path of lonelyness

Is all I see, yeah

No one loves, oh with no love

Always no love for me

And what a promise, what a promise do they make

That’s just the chance

Oh that’s just the chance

You’ve got to take

Sometimes when your holer he calls you sugar

Oh honey you call him baby, baby baby

Sometimes he call you honey, honey, sugar

Babe, yeah

That’s the chance, oh that’s the chance

Sometimes, sometime you’ve got to take

Oh that’s the chance you gotta take

Oh, the chance, the chance you’ve got to take

End
