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.
