Take a Chance on Me é uma canção gravada em 1977 pelo grupo sueco de dance-pop ABBA. Foi o segundo single a ser lançado a partir de seu quinto álbum, chamado simplesmente The Album, e tem aparecido em inúmeras compilações do ABBA, como ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits.

Take a Chance on Me foi um single promocional do A*Teens do álbum de lançamento "The ABBA Generation", uma música do ABBA. Tendo a ideia de promover a banda nas rádios espanholas, a Universal Music Spain lançou a música nas rádios no começo de 2000.

Em 2006, o grupo australiano (conhecido também pela série infantil) Hi-5 performou ao vivo a canção no especial Abba Mania.

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me

(That's all I ask of you honey)

Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together

Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better

'Cos you know I've got

So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you

It's magic

You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair

But I think you know

That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me

(Come on, give me a break will you?)

Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you

You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you

Let me tell you now

My love is strong enough to last when things are rough

It's magic

You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind

No I can't let go

'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me
