Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

I felt it
The wire TOUCH my neck &
Then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it comin'
I started to black out and
Then someone said "Good Mornin'!"
I took it as a warnin'
I should have seen it comin'
So now I take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not I
Don't think we saw it comin'
It's all addin' up to somethin'
That asks for some involvement
BUT AS for a commitment?
I think I see it comin'
If we step out on that LIMB

[:: CHORUS ::]
My heart beat beats me senselessly
Why's everything gotta be so intense with me??
I'm trying handle all this unpredictability
IN all probability

It's a long shot
But I say why not?
If I say forget it?
I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot
Just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
There's no chance
'Cause you're the best I've got
So take a long shot

I realize that there is all this doubting
& we're both scared about that
We'll never see them comin'
Throw caution to the wind &
We'll see which way it's BLOWIN'
& TO FULLY KNOWIN'
We'll never see it comin'
'Til it's much too close to stop

[:: CHORUS ::]
My heart beat beats me senselessly
Why's everything gotta be so intense with me?
I'm trying handle all this unpredictability
It all probability

It's a long shot
But I say why not?
If I say forget it?
I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot
just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I dont take it
There's no chance
'Cause you're the best I've got
So take a long shot

Oh I waited
For fact to 'come a fiction
& you fit my description
I never saw you comin'
But we'll make it

It's a long shot
But I say why not?
If I say forget it?
I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot
Just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
There's no chance
No chance--
'Cause you're the best I've got

It's a long shot
But I say why not?
If I say forget it?
(So take a long shot)...
I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot
Just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
(You didn't expect this)...
But I know if I don't take it

It's a long shot
But i say why not?
(Oh you never saw me comin')...
If I say forget it?
I know that I'll regret it
(You didn't expect this)...
It's a long shot
Just to beat these odds
(Oh you never saw me comin')...
The chance is we won't make it
But i know if i don't take it
(I'm the best you've got)...

(fading to nothing)
It's a long shot
but i say why not
