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 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 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
