DAME UN CHANCE
Héctor Lavoe
GIVE ME A CHANCE
They won't let me go out because they say
I'm ungrateful,
give me a chance, my love, just this once
to have a good time.
Chorus:
They won't let him go out because they say
he's ungrateful,
give him a chance, my love, just this once
so he can enjoy a good time.
And my friends are already talking,
that I'm stuck in the trunk,
and I swear I'm getting tired
of being just the way I am.
And if I'm stuck at home
I can't even sit down.
Don't love me so much, my dear
or you'll end up ruining me.
~
And I work all week long
and I don't know what fun is.
Give me a chance if it's true you love me
so I can have a few shots of rum.
And if you see me talking to another
you immediately start to freak out,
and you want to eat me with your eyes
I don't know where this is going to end.
