I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE
(Berry Gordy / Mickey Stevenson) 
Mary Wells


You say you love me, & I believe you do 
You really really love me 'cause I love you, but oh... 

CHORUS: 
I don't wanna take a chance 
I don't wanna take a chance 
I don't wanna take a chance & come out 
Yeah yeah & come out, & come out only losin' in 

I still remember the last love I had 
Left me so blue & oh so sad 
But I just wanna let you know... 

(chorus) 

I've had lonely days & oh lonely nights 
That's something that I don't wanna go through no more 
Just give my heart some time 
& I know I'll make up my mind 
& when I give it up, gonna give it up 
To you, you, you you you oh 

One day, baby, when my heart is stronger 
& I'll have this fear no longer 
Maybe then I'll come running to you 
But oh right now... 

(chorus) 

(repeat & fade): 
& come out only losin' in
