Taking A Chance On Love (Live) - Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie

It's the kinda thing that makes you forget everything at a party Got me taking shots I don't take, but she likes Bacardi She gonna steal your attention, make you want more than a friendship When you try to play it cool, but you know she can hear your heartbeat You're standing out from everybody Got my mind drunk, going crazy Got me looking ahead at things Seeing some better days, calling it our place Don't care if you break it, it's a chance worth taking I'm gonna throw it out there, you can catch it in the air or you can drop it But something's telling me to tell you that I could be falling No I didn't expect this, I planned to show up and be reckless But now I'm being careful, making sure every word I say is perfect You're standing out from everybody Got my mind drunk, going crazy Got me looking ahead at things Seeing some better days, calling it our place Don't care if you break it, it's a chance worth taking It's a chance worth taking It's a chance, it's a chance It's a chance worth taking It's a chance worth taking It's a chance worth taking It's a chance worth taking You're standing out from everybody Got my mind drunk, going crazy Got me looking ahead at things Seeing some better days, calling it our place Don't care if you break it, it's a chance worth taking Oh, I'm gonna give it a chance Oh, baby don't, baby don't, baby don't break it Oh, you're worth the chance

You're in-between a page of life you never dreamed The answer won't come from that magazine This time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel Who can I trust to say Should I give love now should I take love now I'm taking the chance And giving myself to you If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong I just want it all to carry on Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near I needed to make this choice on my own To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin Don't run away I feel close to you now You know I need you now I'm taking the chance And giving myself to you If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong I just want it all to carry on I'm taking the chance I can't let this feeling leave I don't want those nights of waiting so long I'm taking the chance before it's gone Taking the chance Taking the chance Taking the chance Taking the chance, I need you I'm taking the chance And giving myself to you If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong I just want it all to carry on I'm taking the chance I can't let this feeling leave I don't want those nights of waiting so long I'm taking the chance before it's gone I'm taking the chance And giving myself to you If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong I just want it all to carry on I'm taking the chance I can't let this feeling leave I don't want those nights of waiting so long I'm taking the chance before it's gone (Fade)

Ev'ry honeybee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I don't blame them goodness knows Honeysuckle rose When you're passin' by flowers drop and sigh And I know the reason why You're much sweeter goodness knows Honeysuckle rose Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar it's so sweet when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose. Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar it's so sweet when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose I said you're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose

Creme tangerine de Montelimar A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle Cool cherry cream (nice apple tart) I feel your taste all the time we're apart Coconut fudge really blows down the blues But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle You might not feel it now But when the pain cuts through You're going to know and how The sweat is going to fill your head When it becomes too much You're going to shout aloud (But you'll have to have them all pulled out) (After the Savoy truffle) Creme tangerine (de Montelimar) A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle
