this is the revised version....compare it and tell me what you think! “A Chance” CHORUS Will you take a chance on me If I take a chance on you? If love is what we have Then what else can we do? Let’s give it a try What is there to lose? Take a chance on me and I’ll take a chance on you VERSE 1 When we met on the first day Good things came my way We liked each other and it showed We just couldn’t let work know Because if we get caught We’d have to explain a lot Of things that we said That should’ve stayed in bed CHORUS Will you take a chance on me If I take a chance on you? If love is what we have Then what else can we do? Let’s give it a try What is there to lose? Take a chance on me and I’ll take a chance on you VERSE 2 Every time you pass me by I can’t help but look in your eyes And glance at your smile It makes the risk worthwhile Every time we get to touch Makes me daydream so much Of a time we’re alone In the safety of your home CHORUS Will you take a chance on me If I take a chance on you? If love is what we have Then what else can we do? Let’s give it a try What is there to lose? Take a chance on me and I’ll take a chance on you OUTRO I really want to see What happens with you and me And I was thinking that We can be lovers And only tell each other ©Kassie Rogers 2008 All Rights Reserved _________________________________________________ Here is my latest creation... still working out some kinks...any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.... ----------------------------------------------------------------- “A Chance” CHORUS There was a risk when I took a chance on you Your love I couldn’t miss; what else could I do? And if you’re willing to give it a try I’ll take that chance; can’t let love pass me by VERSE 1 When we met on the first day I knew good things would come my way We liked each other and it showed We just couldn’t let work know I know that this isn’t just lust You are someone that I can trust Someone I could really love And would never get tired of CHORUS There was a risk when I took a chance on you Your love I couldn’t miss; what else could I do? And if you’re willing to give it a try I’ll take that chance; can’t let love pass me by VERSE 2 The way we kiss, the way we touch I want to be with you so much And when I look into your eyes It’s like I’m in paradise Where it can be just me and you And we can go to someplace new We could kiss under the stars But feel like we’ve gone so far CHORUS There was a risk when I took a chance on you Your love I couldn’t miss; what else could I do? And if you’re willing to give it a try I’ll take that chance; can’t let love pass me by" OUTRO I really want to see What happens with you and me And I was thinking that We can be lovers And only tell each other ©Kassie Rogers 2008 All Rights Reserved

great stuff...persona experience...eh..?? starting with chorus is a nice idea...seems different then the reguler songs...although later it's same but still it makes a difference..!! but i think chorus is too wordy...if you can cut 2-3 words from each line then it'd be sung very well...in my opinion...i maybe wrong...most of the times i am always wrong..!! V1 is very simple...i mean they are just lines we speak in daily life...but in song or in poem...you know things act differently..there has to be some language tryst{i don't know the perfect word}..!! apparently V2 is nice...esp. that "paradise..." line... and yeah outro is nice well...it gives me the feeling and makes me want to know what happens next...i think you must be working over it right..?? ~Neo~

Neo-- Thank you for reading!!! I will try to jazz up the first verse...does this work better for the chorus?? "There was a risk when I took a chance on you Your love I couldn’t miss; what else could I do? And if you’re willing to give it a try I’ll take that chance; can’t let love pass me by" I liked the outro though.....cuz honestly, I want to know what's going to happen next too! lol Again thank you for taking the time to comment! It's much appreciated! Have a great day ~~Kassie~~ P.S. yeah this is ahem a personal experience

HiDee Mz Gurl!
Think ya got a Potential Storyline embedded in here that's Well-Worth-Developing. (So-far, it's kinda a Routine Infatuation Angle..nice, but Not "Killer.") BUT...remember the HIT "Me & Mrs Jone"? "We got a THING...Goin' On"...
Waal...Singer Here's got a THING...Goin' On...At WORK.
&.."At Work" IS the Very-Mineable NUGGET in this Baby.
So... I'd describe the Whole Affair Glance-By-Glance, Touch-by-Touch, Sigh-by-Sigh..WITH the little Add-On "We gotta keep it SECRET..AT WORK" (Many a Corp. has RULES against Active Courtship AT WORK...& this ya can well-exploit in body of Your Lyric.)
So..Set up that TENSION...Fire up That PASSION...& Give Us Some ACTION..."AT WORK"...eh?
Good Luck with it/Make it SIZZLE!
Big Hugs, Stan

Thanks for stoppin by Stan Hmmmm would it help if I added in another verse to the song? Maybe with more of the discriptions you're talking about? Will definitely be working on that...maybe change the first verse too but keep the 'not allowed at work' aspect. Thank you again Stan..you are really helpful as usual. See you around and will get the rewrite done for you asap. Well it's off to good old work now! Maybe I'll find my inspiration there! lol have a great day ~~Kassie~~

Hey Kassie, I am going to go with Stan on this, I'm not sure he's made clear though, what he'd meant. So, I will, lol!! Sorry, just happens sometimes....
VERSE 1 First day on the job at that corporation Policy says cleary, no fraternization but that first look, nearly took my breath and every one after that was stressed you liked me, and it showed clearly other had no idea we'd meet for drinks or lunch breaks in the copy room lock the door, someone will be back soon
The second verse talks about the feelings of the relationship, but the first was lacking the passion. KOS, just some suggs to get you in the right direction. A third verse wouldn't make the difference, you have to have enough interested in the first. This does have al ot of potential though, good luck!

Hi LPG, I'm a les paul guy myself. I really like the way this is going and the intention of it. I've got some lyrical and musical ideas for this song if you're interested. Would require some changes in your lyric but not in the spirit of the song, For example: CH Take a chance on me, and I will prove to you, if love is what we have, then what else can we do? just give it a try, what do you have to lose? take a chance on me and I'll, take a chance on you.
let me know, Rick

Randy-- Thank you for the comments!! I will definitely be working to add that passion and steamyness to the story. I've been meaning to but I've been so busy with the work part of 'work' that I haven't had much time to do anything other than sleep when i get home! And with the holidays coming, I dunno if it'll get any better..... thank you again and will get back with everyone with the rewrite. have a wonderful weekend Randy!! ~~Kassie~~

G'day Kassie, I leave giving advice to others who are qualified so to do and I reckon Stan has done that. I wish you well with your song. best wishes, Ray down under.

Randy-- Gooooood morning hmmmm I was thinking that maybe for the chorus I could use the whole chorus the first time, then first half the second, and then the second half the third time? You like the outro? I was actually fond of that part myself. It was one of the first sections I wrote on this one actually! hmmm I can try to change the 'voice' in the verses, but for the most part it is kind of the way we would talk to one another. And i would like to keep the singer and as much of the song as ambiguous as possible so that it relates more to a general audience. thank you again You've been a big help Have a great day! ~~Kassie~~ P.S. "And other than your entire "outro", this line really stands out: "Of things that we said that should've stayed in bed" - I love, love it!" ...I thought I'd throw an extra naughty line in there, to catch 'em by surprise...looks like it worked!
