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
