Lyrics
What are the Chances?
Music and Lyrics Copyright: Patricia Bahia and Erin Kost
Do do, do do do do do do do do do
We're like East and West
Dark and Light
Short and Tall
Left and Right
They said opposites attract
but they don't last very long
look at us now
we're proving them wrong
What are the chances
That I'd be yours
And you'd be mine
What are the chances
That after all this time
We'd beat the odds
And win the bet
After all these years
Who would have guessed
We'd still be in love
Even more than the day we met
What are the chances--------
Of love
Do do, do do do do do do do do do
They said we'd never make it
It would be too hard
We were just too different
We were world's apart
They said opposites attract
But they don't last very long
Look at us now
We're still going strong
What are the chances
That I'd be yours
And you'd be mine
What are the chances
That after all this time
We'd beat the odds
And win the bet
After all these years
Who would have guessed
We'd still be in love
Even more than the day we met
What are the chances--------
Of Love
Do do, do do do do do do do do do
Even though we're different
we go together right
One without the other
would be like day without the night
I'm no statistician
But there's one thing I know
There's not a chance in the world-------
I'd ever let you go
Do do, do do do do do do do do do
What are the chances
That I'd be yours
And you'd be mine
What are the chances
That after all this time
Do do, do do do do do do do do do
We'd be in love
Oh, What are the chances--------
Of Love
