One Chance, just one chance Could be all that we've got One Chance, just one chance To make things right Mary thought she had it all With her high flying job Thought she didn't need no man Or somebody to love Thinkin' happiness the same As Bulgari jewellry Now she wants back the man That gave her love and a ring But she left too much heartache And too much pain behind Now she's wondering what the future holds 'Cos she's hitting 45 See, sometimes all we have is Chorus One Chance, just one chance To make things right, we all have One Chance, just one chance To make it right Oh! See Johnny and his Papa Eye to eye never see Had their difference in opinions They could never agree Last time they were together they did not speak And it makes you wonder Is it so hard to forgive? Now Papa's dead and gone And Johnny's full of regret, Yes he is Of the joys they never shared And the things they never said See, sometimes all we have is Chorus One Chance, just one chance To make things right, we all have One Chance, just one chance To make it right Rap by Stock! So why do so many people put off What they need to do today And they're the same people that complain When life aint going their way What more can I say? Chorus One Chance, just one chance To make things right, we all have One Chance, just one chance To make it right Mary wants her man back But it's much too late Johnny wants to speak to papa But he's gone away Hey! What you can do today Dont put it off till tomorrow 'Cos it might be too late!
