Everybody Gets A Second Chance by Mike & The Mechanics
Artist: Mike & The Mechanics
Album: Word Of Mouth
A single failure
A little slip
A misdemeanour
A little trip
Does this condemn me
Lock me away?
Before you turn the key
I have one more thing to say
To make amends
Maybe be friends
Chorus:
Everybody gets a second chance
The circumstance to say i'm sorry
I'd like to tell you in advance
Take my chance and tell you
I'm sorry too
A little stumble
A little fall
Inconsequential
Nothing at all
Now there was someone
I heard him say
That the best laid plans
Sometimes go astray
So don't be surprised
If i offer you no alibis
(chorus)
Everybody gets a second chance
The circumstance to say i'm sorry
I'd like to tell you in advance
I'll take my chance and tell you i
Take my chance and tell you
I love you
(chorus x2)
Everybody wants a
Everybody needs a
Everybody gets a second chance
