(Lyrics by Elizabeth Lee & Bobby Pugh)
You’ve had 40,000 chances
To turn this game around
But you go sneakin’ out the side door
Thinkin’ I’ll just stick around
So you’re looking for someone to make you feel good
With no plans of giving good in return
Someone who will call you baby
And maybe
You think that it’s me
I could never be that, I could never even for you
Sittin’ alone, at a table for two
Well you had a good disguise and I’ll admit I had fallen for you
40,000 chances
If you only knew
A safe answer always your reply
I hear the screen door tell me goodnight
If there was moonlight I’d see the look in your eyes
See you thinking everything’s fine
I could never be that, I could never even for you
Sittin’ alone, at a table for two
Well you had a good disguise and I’ll admit it I had fallen for you
40,000 chances we’re through
You’ve been betting pennies, I’ve been betting dimes
I wanted to love you but I’ve made up my mind
Cause you’ve had 40,000 chances
You’ve had 40,000 chances
You’ve had 40,000 chances
