(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)

I take the chance to lose my soul, my life, my pride
I take the chance to be with you.

I know it's wrong for us to steal a kiss
But when you hold me in your arms, oh, I can't resist
I have a home and someone kind and true
I know I'd lose it all if I was seen with you.

I take the chance to lose my soul, my life, my pride
I take the chance to be with you
I've tried to live my life the best I can
I've prayed I'd never cheat, to heed my heart's command.

But dear you know to one I've been untrue
I wonder if you think I'd do the same to you
I take the chance to lose my soul, my life, my pride
I take the chance to be with you...
