Half A Chance

Carly Simon · Another Passenger [1976]

You said we'd light the firmament

You swore our love was permanent

You said we'd stick through thick and thin

Through up and down, through lose and win

But comes the first sign of stormy weather

You're packin' your bags in a trance

Well you gotta give



Half a chance, oh babe

Give half a chance, oh darling

Give half a chance, oh babe

To our romance



And you know you can't pretend it's Camelot

Then start to run when things get hot

When love explodes there's always heat

There's always bitter with the sweet

There's always times when your legs feel broken

But you still don't drop out of the dance

Cause you gotta give



Half a chance, oh babe

Give half a chance, now darling

Give half a chance, oh babe

To our romance



There's always times when your legs feel broken

But you still don't drop out of the dance

Cause you gotta give



Half a chance, half a chance

Give half a chance, now darling

Give half a chance, half a chance

To our romance
