Well, Jenni had her mind across the pond but not the table
While Jimmy thought to himself does he really need her
Because when he walks home, he sure hopes it won't be alone
He been seeing the same six friends for fifteen years, maybe she will say yes and give it a chance
Her aspirations are out of bounds, it'd be easier to leave now
He'll take a chance
He'll take a chance
He'll take what he can get
He'll take a chance
And Jimmy lost his mind looking across the table
Her eyes were wide, spirits high, he knew it was a maybe
So he calls a cab and cuts his losses
Those same four friends he's known for sixteen years, if she still says yes he won't have to stay here
Jimmy thinks its his choice Jenni knows, when the next plane comes she'll be the first to go
With those same two friends for the next ten years, if Jenni's interested it is hers
In the limelight, the highlight, a perhaps bearable nightlife
She'll take a chance
She'll take a chance
She'll take what she can get
She'll take a chance, Go!
Jenni and jimmy go hand in hand, I've been sticking around and I don't understand
So Jenni and Jimmy still have today, the true question is which one will stay
They'll take a chance
They'll take a chance
They'll take what she can get
They'll take a chance
