Everybody Gets A Second Chance - Mike + The Mechanics

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
