All I want is a fair shake A chance to show you love don't have to hurt Start it with a clean slate No need to play it safe just let it work Too many hard times too many slick lines Look like the whole worlds on the make You've had enough of all that tough love You could use a even break All I want is a fair shake A chance to show you love don't have to hurt Start it with a clean slate No need to play it safe just let it work Shattered illusions draw the conclusion Love only leads to regrets Just let your hair down wipe off the old frown I'll show you how good love can get You feel burned out and nothings turned out The way you thought it would Please don't hold out this just might work out It just might grow into something good All I want is a fair shake A chance to show you love don't have to hurt Start it with a clean slate No need to play it safe just let it work
