| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Don’t you know that we could be together
|
| for a while. |
