JW Hanberry - Opportunity Knockin'

lyrics

Overture
Opportunity, such a scandalous tease
Promise you the world
Then brings you to your knees
A tantalizing mistress
Impossible to please
You want to hold her but she
Drifts away on the breeze

Verse
It looked like an easy score
To get me in the door
No sweat, just do it
I let some time go by
'til I got around to high and dry
That's how I blew it

Didn't seize the day
Or what came my way
I never used it
Wouldn't a taken too much time
But I failed to drop a dime
I refused it
Yeah I abused it

Chorus
Grab your chances don't give up
That's opportunity knockin'
Take the risk, call your shot
You can get the house a rockin'

Opportunity don't come by here
Each and every day
Recognize it, claim your prize
Don't (ever) let it slip away

Vs
Should've felt the heat and
Got up off my seat
I could've scored it
Instead I kicked back and
Didn't keep track
In fact I ignored it

Next chance came along
Didn't dare to do it wrong
So I took it
I learned from the past
Opportunities never last
Hey man, ya gotta book it

[Ch]

Outro
Give it all you got
Or you gonna pay
If you want to make it happen
Better do it today
Don't be a fool
Don't be a s ucka
