Take A Chance On Me

Hello Humans! So, I've lately been in a Mamma Mia mood recently, because my family LOVES the music and we just learned that a second movie will be coming out this summer! But seriously, when I say my family LOVES this music, I'm not lying. For every road trip, we always put on the sound track and sing at the top of our lungs. And we all dance to it together as a family. So many family jokes have come from funny words or dance moves that me and my siblings have made up while listening and singing to this music. So, today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite songs, besides, "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" Ok, I really just like singing and dancing to that one. It's has a fantastic tune. But anyways, I'm going to talk about "Take A Chance On Me." As usual, here are the lyrics.

"If you change your mind, I'm the first in line. Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance on me. If you need me let me know, gonna be around. If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down. If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown, honey I'm still free. Take a chance on me. Gonna do my VERY BEST, and it ain't no lie. If you put me to the test, if you let me try. We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together. Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better. But you know I've got, so much that I want to do. When I dream I'm alone with you, IT'S MAGIC. You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair. But I think you know that I can't let go. If you change your mind, I'm the first in line. Honey I'm still free. Take a chance on me. If you need me let me know, gonna be around. If you've got no place to go when you're feeling down. If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown, honey I'm still free. Take a chance on me. Gonna do my VERY BEST, and it ain't no lie. If you put me to the test, if you let me try. Take a chance on me. Take a chance on me. Oh you can take your time, baby. I'm in no hurry. I know I'm gonna get you. You don't want to hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you. Let me tell you now, my love is strong enough to last when things are rough. IT'S MAGIC. You say that I waste my time, but I can't get you off my mind. No I can't let go, because I love you so. If you change your mind. I'm the first in line. Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance on me. If you need me let me know, gonna be around. If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down. If you're all around when the pretty birds have flown. Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance on me. Gonna do my VERY BEST, and it ain't no lie. You can put me to the test, if you let me try. Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance on me. Gonna do my VERY BEST and it ain't no lie. You can put me to the test, if you let me try. Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance me."

Now, at first glance this looks like a love song. But if you get rid of all that, you get what I hope to be. A good friend who anyone and everyone can rely on. I hope that is what I am to my friends. I know that I'm that to my family, as we have such a great time. I hope to show the ones who aren't married and feeling lonely that being single is a blessing. You can do anything you want with no strings attached! It's fantastic. So, I guess I just hope to be that really cool single friend who anyone can rely on for anything, and who they can tell anything to.

Hopefully we can all be this way to our friends, and then the world will be a little kinder. That's all for now. Stay wild, flower child.
