Since you've been gone
I feel my life slippin' away
I look to the sky
And everything is turnin' grey

All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay?
Why can't you think it over?
Why can't you forget about the past?

When love makes a sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
Can't you see I love you?

Since you've been gone
I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye

So this is love
Standing in the pouring rain
I've fooled on you
But she never meant a thing

And I know I ain't got the right
To ask you to sympathize
But why can't you think it over?
Why can't you forget about the past?

When love makes a sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
Can't you see I love you?

Since you've been gone
I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye

I never loved her
I never needed her
She was willing and that's all there is to say
Don't forsake me
Please don't leave me now

A heart needs a second chance

Yeah!
You've been gone and I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye

Please forgive me and forget it
I was wrong and I admit it
Why can't we talk it over?
Why can't we forget about, forget about the past?

(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes a sound, babe
(A heart needs a second chance)
Don't put me down, babe

You've been gone
I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye

(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound, babe
(A heart needs a second chance)

(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound, babe
(A heart needs a second chance)

(A heart needs a second chance)
Yeah! Hmm
(A heart needs a second chance)
