[Verse 1:]
If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
but baby we ve got nothing to lose
I m standing tall in my own shoes
I ll take this chance
I ll make this choice
I ll right this wrong
I ll raise my voice
if it means
We ll be together
for a while
[Verse 2:]
I have never had a doubt
But for you I ll take time out
I ll push his love far away from me
and then I ll be completely free
I ll give up my security
for just the possibility
that we could be together
for a while
[Chorus:]
If you said "Jump!" I d say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I d run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I ll tell you twice
I ll ignore the world s advice
if we could be together
for a while
[Verse 3:]
I am taken by your strength
I ve thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
but there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I ll sit here til that telephone rings
then we could be together
for a while
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Wait ll I tell my guy (wait ll I tell)
Wait ll I tell my other friends
They ll all think I m crazy-
and ya know what?
That depends...
cause I m crazy in love
with you
and everyone s best won t do
They ll say my hopes
will not come true
But I m taking the chance
Because you only live once-
Only live once (only live once)
And...
If you said "Jump!" I d say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" You know I d fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I ll tell you twice
I ll ignore the world s advice
if we could be together
for a while
[Bridge:]
There are no guarantees
but if it means
there s even a possibility
then I ll give up whatever it takes
I know I ve made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
for a while
If you said "Jump!" I d say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I d run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
Ask me once I ll tell you twice,
You know I ll ignore the world s advice
if we could be together
for a while
[Chorus]
Don t you know that we could be together
for a while.
