Takin' Chances - Earth, Wind & Fire

I like walkin' in the park late at night 
Tryin' to run my motor down 
Everybody says I live a dangerous life 
I've got to get ahead somehow 
Out here on the street just tryin' to get my own 
Don't tell me what you think you know 
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone 
Just waitin' for a check that won't show 

Chorus: 
Takin' chances 
No risk, no gain 
Takin' chances 
I really don't mind the pain 
Takin' chances 
If you only knew 
Takin' chances 
It's all for the love of you 

I don't like to listen to what people say (uh-huh) 
Cause once you start you'll never stop 
One advantage to doing things my own way 
I'll always end up on top 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
I've got to do it right, 
Ooh I've got to 
I've got to live my life 
The way I want to 
I'm high up on a wire, 
Don't wanna ever come down 
And if I fall 
I've got to fly
