A single failure
a little slip
a misdemeanour
a little trip
does this condemn me
lock me away?
before you turn the key
i have one more thing to say
to make amends
maybe be friends

chorus:
Everybody gets a second chance
the circumstance to say i'm sorry
i'd like to tell you in advance
take my chance and tell you
i'm sorry too
A little stumble
a little fall
inconsequential
nothing at all
now there was someone
i heard him say
that the best laid plans
sometimes go astray
so don't be surprised
if i offer you no alibis

(chorus)
Everybody gets a second chance
the circumstance to say i'm sorry
i'd like to tell you in advance
i'll take my chance and tell you i
take my chance and tell you
i love you

(chorus x2)
Everybody wants a
everybody needs a
everybody gets a second chance
