JUEVES - LYRICS ("Take a Chance On Me - ABBA")

- Take A Chance On Me - ABBA
 
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line.
Honey I'm still free,
take a chance on me.
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around.
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down,
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
honey I'm still free.
Take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie.
If you put me to the test, if you let me try.
 
Take a chance on me.
(That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me.
 
We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together,
listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'cos you know I've got
so much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you.
It's magic.
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
but I think you know
that I can't let go.
 
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line.
Honey I'm still free,
take a chance on me.
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around.
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down,
if you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
honey I'm still free.
Take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie.
If you put me to the test, if you let me try.
 
Take a chance on me.
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me.
Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you.
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you.
Let me tell you now
my love is strong enough to last when things are rough.
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind.
No, I can't let go
'cos I love you so.
 
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line.
Honey I'm still free,
take a chance on me.
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around.
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down,
if you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown,
honey I'm still free.
Take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see.
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me.
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
 
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I'm still free.
Take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see.
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me.
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
 
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free.
Take a chance on me.
 
- Notas: ABBA se caracterizó por buscar que sus canciones tuvieran un mensaje directo que el oyente pudiera descifrar rápidamente, y esta canción es un claro ejemplo de ello. En este caso, la canción parte de una supuesta persona que busca iniciar una relación y pide que se le de una oportunidad (“take a chance on me”) para demostrarle lo mucho que va a quererle y como va a cambiarle la vida.
La realidad es que el protagonista de la canción es alguien un poco necesitado, que prácticamente mendiga esa oportunidad a alguien que no parece muy interesado, de ahí lo de “if you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown” que indica que va a estar ahí cuando se canse de tontear con otra gente.
