Would You Take Another Chance On Me
Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis
If I promise you to straightin' up and put my life in order
If I swear to you woman on bendin' knees I won't hurt you again
If I become the kind of man that you want me to be
Would you take another chance on me?
The good lord knows I've done you wrong I've asked him to forgive me
Deep inside think he would if you could do the same
If I could take back all the things that caused you misery
Would you take another chance on me?
Would you take another chance on me?
I've paid for my mistake
Would you take another chance on me?
Or have I changed to late?
Mmmm I've been a fool woman for hurting you
But God can't you see I'm sorry?
If you were only mine again
I'd make it up to you
But my past keeps blinding you
If you could only see
Would you take another chance on me?
Think about it darlin...
About Would You Take Another Chance On Me
Jerry Lee Lewis's "Would You Take Another Chance On Me" stands as a quintessential example of his raw, driving rock and roll style, characterized by his explosive piano work and signature vocal delivery. Released during the height of his career, the track embodies the genre's rebellious spirit and emotional intensity, featuring the same high-energy performance techniques that defined hits like "Hound Dog" and "Great Balls of Fire." As a staple of the rockabilly and early rock spectrum, the song captures the fleeting nature of relationships and the desire for redemption, themes central to Lewis's catalog of heartbreak ballads mixed with upbeat dance tracks. Its enduring appeal lies in its unpolished authenticity and the visceral impact of its recording, cementing Lewis's legacy as a pivotal figure in American music history who bridged the gap between country roots and the emerging rock era.
