Quote
"If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around..
Honey while I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try"
Take A Chance On Me By ABBA
