[edit] Song information

In March 1996 Madonna released a third single from the album internationally, after the previous hit "You'll See" and the re-release of "Oh Father" in some European markets. In the United States the follow up to "You'll See" and final single was a remix of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" but in Japan, the United Kingdom and a few other European countries "One More Chance" was released as the final single. In Australia, both "One More Chance" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" were released as singles. In the UK the latter was originally set for an August release date but was shelved due to the lactluster sales of "Oh Father" and this track.

With barely any promotion and no official video the song did not fare well on the charts and only peaked at number 11 in the United Kingdom (remaining the only time two consecutive Madonna singles have ever failed to crack the UK top ten) and at number 35 in Australia.

The song reached #1 in Hong Kong.

In the year 2000, the song was covered by Mexican pop duo Sentidos Opuestos. The Spanish adaptation "Hoy que tú no estás" was included in their final studio album Movimiento perpetuo.

[edit] Song Lyrics

"One More Chance"

I turned around too late to see the fallen star I fell asleep and never saw the sun go down I took your love for granted Thought luck was always on my side I turned around too late and you were gone

[Chorus:]

So give me one more chance Darlin' if you care for me Let me win your love 'Cause you were always there for me If you care for me, Be there for me

I like to play the queen of hearts and never thought I'd lose I rolled the dice but never showed my hand I planned it out so perfectly, So you'd never leave a girl like me I was a fool, but now I understand

[chorus]

Here is the law of the land You play with fire and you'll get burned Here is the lesson I've learned That you don't know what you've got til it's gone

[chorus, without last two lines]

Gimme one more chance Tell me that it's not too late Let me win your love Darlin' please don't hesitate If you care for me, Be there for me

Give me one more chance
