Take a Chance on Me

from Bible Belt Baby by Flamy Grant

/

lyrics

Let me tell you honestly that I do tell lies
There's nobody I hate and just a few I despise
I'm a really good listener until you realize
That everything you're saying makes me roll my eyes

I've got the demeanor of a goddamn saint
I'm happy to help out until I suddenly ain't
I never act ugly unless I get hungry
And let's face I am hungry every second of the day

You'll never find a man who's more self-aware
Unless you look anywhere else
No one will ever know a love as big
As the love that I have for myself
I never make it easy but
I just might be what
You didn't know you need
So if you feel lucky, take a chance on me

I do not make promises I cannot keep
So everything’s a maybe, have to wait and see
If you throw a party, I might come but I’m sorry
I will never share the status of my R.S.V.P.

I’m a patient lover unless I finish first
And I expect you finish me if the roles are reversed
I maintain the mystery of my sexual history
Because both of my exes will tell you I am the worst

I could be everything you’re dreaming of
If all of your dreams are nightmares
Ask anyone, they’ll say I’m the perfect catch
If you like making lots of repairs
You’re feeling just a little bored
What are you waiting for
I might be the missing key
So if you feel lucky, take a chance on me

I know there might be one or two things I could improve
That funny-looking mole that I should probably remove
But if you haven’t heard it, well nobody’s perfect
So besides your self-respect, what have you got to lose?

Life is not a teenage TV show where all
Your wildest dreams are in reach
If you’re having trouble finding your A.C. Slater
Would you maybe settle for Screech?
The thing is you never know
Where a road might go
Could be better than where you’ve been
So If you feel reckless, take me for a spin

You might feel disinclined
But just keep in mind
That there are no guarantees
So if you feel lucky, take a chance on me
