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.
