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 us 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 while
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Wait`ll I tell my guy (wait`ll I tell)
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...
If you said Jump! I`d say How high?
If you said Run! You know I`d fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us 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
BRIDGE:
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
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 us by
Ask me once I`ll tell you twice,
You know I`ll ignore the world`s advice
if we could be together
for a while
CHORUS
Don`t you know that we could be together
for a while.
