Eric Clapton - One Chance Lyrics






Without wishing to cause you any pain,
I got to push on through, babe,
And if I take the chance of seeing you again,
I just don't know what I would do, baby.

And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine;
All I got to do is go through it, babe.
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind,
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.

[Chorus:]
You had one chance and you blew it.
You may never get another chance.
You had the floor and you knew it.
You can't blame it on your circumstance.

At the risk of causing you a little pain,
I'm going to have to forget you, babe,
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd do the same again if I let you, babe.

I would give anything to hold you in my arms,
But you know I can't do that, baby.
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.

[Chorus 4x]

    SRBIN Jebote retko da nadjes srbina ovde, pozdrav iz Pariza.

  22. K.... M....

    I hope its the winter blues, but man I feel I may never get another chance and its not a good feeling. EC sounds like he had a 'bad love' but he still thinks it was something he should have tried some other route, and he blew it. Crazy twisted love, its nothing without the wrenching passion that sometimes bursts into flames. One chance, nah.. I want to think if its even close to real, you can get a second chance. unless of course it was a stranger and you choked on whether to pursue or run

  23. V.... C....

    i agree, masterpiece. still listen to it all the time. One Chance...favorite

  24. K.... M....

    lyrics.. real

  25. K.... M....

    great album, incredible orchestra sound at the Pilgrim concert. This guy is a complete package.. plays 'everything.' whats not to like

  26. K.... ....

    correct Pino Palladino.. ;] but sounds quite similar to Nathan's way

  27. G.... F....

    everything Eric does has class....and taste....he is the most tasteful person in popular music going...by far....

  28. s.... ....

    and now for something I never noticed - just compare the two relevant album covers! gotta love meaningless (?) coincidences.

  29. T.... ....

    LOL! I never noticed that, not one of the Shady songs I've listened to the most though.

  30. s.... ....

    I know exactly what you mean. I love this CD. To me it epitomises all that the second half of the 90s had to offer, as well as some of the best of the second half of Eric's great career.
    Incidentally, while I'm here, another late 90s song, 'I'm Shady' by Eminem, has a remarkably similar riff, though apparently sourced elsewhere!

  31. S.... ....

    Me encantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ♥ I love it!

  32. G.... F....

    @UndyingGypsy,@satchfan2010 Pino Palladino all the way!!!

  33. I.... ....

    love it =)

  34. K.... ....

    @satchfan2010
    Yeaaah- definitely Nathan East ;))

  35. J.... D....

    @satchfan2010

    nope, Pino Palladino :)

  36. s.... m....

    this was my go to during painful time in my life. now am good and still LOVE it.

  37. b.... ....

    great song.great cd

  38. s.... ....

    Great bass, Nathan East?..

    s.... ....

    pino paladino

  39. T.... ....

    A kind of odd album from Eric Clapton, not something you'd expect him to do after his previous albums "all going down the same road" without being repetitive. That being said, Pilgrim is by far my favourite album.

  40. D.... P....

    NIKADA NISAM ČUO DA GITARA MOŽE OVAKO DA "REŽI".FANTASTIČNA I POTPUNO NEOČEKIVANA STVAR OD MR.-SLOWHANDA.

  41. N.... M....

    In 2000s, at the end of the day, I'd look forward to relaxing and being soothed by beer. And Eric Clapton's guitar work.

    While the Pilgrim album is a collector's item, not too many people collect this sort of thing. That's why this masterpiece is so underrated.

  42. L.... W....

    Love it! Chi-Town Steppers Cut..................

  43. D.... V....

    SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
