Pure Love (Keep Taking Chances)

PURE LOVE (KEEP TAKING CHANCES) - Written by Carroll Bryant


Well, I know Jackie
She is a friend and she talks to me
She tells me of her lonely heart then bows her head
And cries through an endless night
As I hold her

I say, there is a million other fish in the sea
But she doesn't know that the heart that loves her
Belongs to me

I tell her, I say
When you know what it is you're looking for
Once you find it you're never gonna let it go
Because when you find what it is you're looking for
You're gonna hold on tight with all of your might for the rest of your life

Keep on taking those chances

I lift her head and dry her eyes
As it tears me apart because I am just a friend
She starts into details about other guys
And I don't know why I keep it all in

I'm just strong sometimes

I say, so maybe this time, true love didn't find you
But if you turn your head and look around
Love is right behind you

I tell her, I say
When you know what it is you're looking for
Once you find it you're never gonna let it go
Because when you find what it is you're looking for
You're gonna hold on tight with all of your might for the rest of your life

Keep on taking those chances

I don't have the nerve to break the news
That the one who loves Jackie, wears my shoes
I can only hold her like a friend should do
As she cries about a man whose love wasn't true

It's hard to figure out what Jackie's looking for
If it's love, pure love, no need to look anymore
But love is never easy
It's a real hard game
So it'll be my secret
It'll be my pain
But one of these days, and I know up-front
That when she looks into my eyes she will fall in love
Pure love - Jackie
You are love, Jackie

When you know what it is you're looking for
Once you find it you're never gonna let it go
Because when you find what it is you're looking for
You're gonna hold on tight with all of your might for the rest of your life

Keep on taking those chances
