V1.

Baby can I take you out tonight?
I've got making up to do.
I know talk is cheap, and I'm in so deep
For the hell I put you through.

I got no excuse for the things I've done,
All the lies and jealousy.
Let me try and prove how I'll change for you.
Take a second chance on me.

V2.
Honey, in love push comes to shove
And you had to stand your ground.
I didn't understand who you were back then
But I understand you now.

Oh, I miss the way that you see the world
And you live it like a dream.
I wanna see it too, alongside of you.
Take a second chance on me.

CHORUS:
Can I come over baby
Would you let me in?
Don't leave me with my poor heart broken again.
How can I move along
When you're all that I need?
I'm begging honey, please
Take a second chance on me.

V3.
Do you want to meet on Second Street
Where the hippies hang around?
Or we can go hang out on the boulevards
Or some quiet place uptown.

I don't really care where we're gonna go.
You can choose the scenery.
With a little time, I can change your mind.
Take a second chance on me.

BRIDGE:
You took me over like a religion,
Then I took you for the ride of your life.
Won't you give me back every memory
And a second chance at a lover tonight?
