When the moon rises,
the dogs will howl
Look out of your window,
I'll be on the prowl
I'm not usually
a gambling man
But oh
I just wanna hold up
my hands

And say I'm taking
a chance on you love
Woah I'm taking
a chance on you love

I'm not superstitious
and I don't wear no charm
I don't carry my heart
on the sleeve of my arm
Seven years of bad luck,
please, don't worry me
'Cause when I look
in the mirror,
here's the future I see

I'm taking a chance
on you love
Woah,
I'm taking
a chance on you love

Place your bets, better yet
Don't forget, what I said
Roll the dice, spin the wheel
Always remember,
you've got to keep it real

Don't believe in voodoo,
black magic was never my style
But I believe you do,
and it won't take much time
To gather the portions
that weave your magic spell
The moon on the ocean
has a secret to tell

But anyway
I'm taking
a chance on you love
Woah I'm taking
a chance on you love
Woah I'm taking
a chance on you love
