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
