[Verse 1]
When the moon rises, the dogs will howl
Look out of your window, I'll be on the prowl
I'm not usually a gambling man
But, oh, I just wanna hold up my hands and say

[Chorus]
I'm taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I'm taking a chance on you, love

[Verse 2]
I'm not superstitious and I don't wear no charm
I don't carry my heart on the sleeve of my arm
Seven years of bad luck, please, don't worry me
'Cause when I look into the mirror, here's the future I see

[Chorus]
I'm taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I'm taking a chance on you, love

[Verse 3]
Place your bets, better yet
Don't forget what I said
Roll the dice, spin the wheel
Always remember, you've got to keep it real
[Verse 4]
I don't believe in voodoo, black magic was never my style
But I believe that you do, and it won't take much time
To gather the potions that weave your magic spell (Yeah)
The moon on the ocean has a secret to tell

[Chorus]
But, anyway, I'm taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I'm taking a chance on you, love
Whoa, I'm taking a chance on you, love
Ha ha, yeah
