Cameo - Give Love A Chance Lyrics






Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance
Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance
Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance
Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance

I've walked a thousand miles
Met a lot of people, all races and all kinds
Love, love has no color, no
Well if you see a color, isit black, red, green or brown?

Make your mind up
Surely you can understand
It's not hard for you to see
Love will love you
If you give love a chance

Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance
Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance
Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance
Surely you can see
Take a chance, give love a chance

You try to tell me I'm a fool
Feeling the way I do
But for me there's no other way
Consider love as a flower
That grows more every hour
Every minute of every day

Make your mind up
Surely you can understand
The meaning of ecstasy
Take a step to accept
Just give your love a chance
Give your love a chance
Give your love a chance

Come on, make your mind up
Surely you can understand
The meaning of ecstasy
Love will love you
If you give love a chance

Make your mind up
Surely you can understand
It's not hard for you to see
Take a step to accept
Just give your love a chance
Give your love a chance

Love has no color, no color...
I want you to to tell me, tell me...

Cameo Give Love A Chance Comments
  1. C.... D....

    Killer!!!

  2. C.... D....

    True Legends!!!

  3. C.... D....

    Underrated!!!

  4. D.... D....

    Cameo is touring, I hope Larry Blackmon, Tomi Jenkins and Nathan Leftenent can resovle their differences and tour together again. Also I would like to hear some new music. Bring the groove back!!

  5. N.... H....

    And if you see a color, is it black, green or brown, this is Cameo's best ballad!!

  6. A.... A....

    First time I ever heard this song today! I like it........ another cameo jam. R.I.P. Wayne Cooper, You and Cameo help make my college days the best!

  7. T.... H....

    This song is very inspirational to me. Music and Lyrics are intact.

  8. N.... W....

    In my own humble opinion the only thing Prince Eddie Kendricks Phillip Bailey Smokey Robinson and any other falsetto singers had on Mr Wayne Cooper was notoriety he was at least as good as any of them he just didn't have the big name because he was only a part off CAMEO for two years I remember hearing he was supposed to be going solo and Larry Blackmon was supposed to produce him but for some reason it didn't come to pass unfortunately

  9. S.... T....

    Where’s my 3 wishes

  10. S.... J....

    Love will love you....Indeed❤️❤️❤️

  11. B.... V....

  15. T.... H....

    Cameo has lots of great ingredient to there creativety for music. This particiualr song is before it's time.

  16. T.... H....

    Wayne Cooper an amazing singer, there are alot of faulsettos, but his is identifiable.

  17. N.... R....

    Possibly the best funk album of all time?

  18. M.... G....

    I Don't Remember This Jam .....But ( Why Have I Lost You Moves Me Fa Sho )

  19. W.... G....

    Tomi man I'm the #1 fan of all time I will listen to Cameo on my death bed I'm in this group and they say who is better ewf or my boys there no comparison Cameo # funk band ever

    W.... G....

    RealTalk! #BestFunkBandEver

  20. A.... E....

    R I P WADE YAR BROUGH THA ONLY BROTHA I KNOW THAT SOUND EXACTLY LIKE WAYNE COOPER

  21. T.... M....

    Love this group. Up tempo, slow jam's doesn't matter

  22. H.... L....

    Thanks TJ me&my podna use to argue over who would sing your part to all the great cameo sonngs

  23. m.... J....

    One must say that Cameo was one of the best all around groups of that era hands down ! M

  24. R.... M....

    Wayne Cooper falsetto sounds like a natural the best i have ever heard i love the other guys Prince Phillip Bailey The Debarges and all the singing groups of 70's but Wayne had a voice that people thought was a woman strong and much vibrato if he would have not gotten ill the world have known him better.

  25. J.... J....

    What an amazing group... Wayne Cooper lit it up....

  26. k.... k....

    Da Real Cameo,,,, when they had lots of firepower!! Leave No Substitute..... Westside da Chi... 13th & Central pk ave.

    k.... k....

    The Ohio Players had a unique arsenal of intellectual talented firepower, in which who set the tone for CameO, do check out the Ohio Players you will see that 90% of CameO’s flow are somewhat similar or the same. That’s the reason CameO changed the group original name from being the New York City Players to CameO. Not taking anything away from CameO they’re AWESOME!! MY favorite group!! But again, I was stunned by the Ohio Players flow after pulling up all their music, I was like WHOA!!!! Check it out for yourself…

  27. h.... c....

    give love a chance,is always in need 2018 n beyond

  28. T.... P....

    I feel this

  29. t.... p....

    Wayne cooper was ..Cameo ....period

    t.... p....

    Wrong !!! Granted his high octaves lent credibility to all vocal talents of the group, however, the group carried on in Wayne's absence, and that is accredited to Larry Blackmon, Bassist Aaron Mills, and that 3rd fella' who replaced Wayne on vocals

    t.... p....

    Nah ....Just a Great Bonus ( Sorry )

  30. m.... J....

    Love what the masses need ! M

  31. T.... F....

    This is my Favorite Cameo Slow song. I could not find this song or album for years. Nowhere... Finally on Itunes. I'm from DC, but my buddies from Chicago and Philly have never heard this song..but was shocked and just listened quietly and said "damn, where did this come from". Amazing it doesn't get played in rotation of Cameo ole skool hits like "Sparkle".. somehow I don't think it got played that much in certain markets when it was released..

    T.... F....

    Thom Ford I totally agree...I found it again too....& So happy that I did... I love Cameo. ...I was a teenager when this came out. ..& it Still sounds amazing....

  32. a.... 4....

    In my opinion Cameos the baddest band ever!

  33. J.... B....

    cameo one of the greatest groups of all time😃😃😃😃😃

    J.... B....

    Yes Sir!

    J.... B....

    No question Sir!!

    J.... B....

    Oh Yes.. ! Hands down...❤️❤️

  34. J.... B....

    I like camoe songs the best 😎

  35. B.... B....

    I am from the old timers baby larry joseph segobia .san diego california

  36. B.... B....

    I remember this song I was 15 years old  .and bobby debarge was the best to .who knows this music .music now is trash

  37. C.... M....

    Bad ass song i love it

  38. C.... M....

    Another bad ass song

  39. D.... ....

    Wayne was an incredible falsetto. A falsetto singer who never get's talked about though is Cortez Harris from One Way. He sang lead on Cutie Pie, Lady You Are, and Something in The Past. He get's forgotten about because people think Al Hudson did all the leads but Cortez and another great falsetto Kevin McCord did the falsetto leads for One Way. He wasn't as dyanamic as Wayne but he was near that class and that range too!

    D.... ....

    We cant forgot Tony Washington from the Dynamic Superiors, and Russell Thompson Jr from the Stylistics

  40. m.... ....

    This is a jam!

  41. P.... S....

    Damn sho' miss slow dragging at the basement parties to this

  42. m.... ....

    Wayne Cooper was one of the baddest falsettos ever! RIP Wayne...

    m.... ....

    mookeychase0907 man you ain't lying....Wayne Cooper was the best ever he made cameo

    m.... ....

    Who you tellin'!!!

    m.... ....

    The Boy was cold😀😀

  43. b.... ....

    Tomi Jenkins. I have all your early classic CAMEO albums from Cardiac Arrest to Knights of the Sound Table on VINYL. I'M A HUGE FAN OF YOUR EARLY STUFF. WHEN YOU WERE A "BAND"

  44. a.... 4....

    "Love will love you"

  45. S.... I....

    I just love this song.

  46. k.... P....

    Give love a chance

  47. M.... R....

    IT CAN BE SO DAMN WONDERFUL.

  48. A.... B....

    Beautiful love song,love has no color,just give love a chance beautiful lyrics,love love this song

  49. G.... W....

    My mind is going crazy with memories dancing all around in my head ! 

    G.... W....

    Mine too.....

  50. T.... J....

    Thanks everybody, had a vibe for some of our past stuff. Such a joy listening to my buddy Wayne. One in a mil. Blessings to all!

    T.... J....

    @Tomi Jenkins ] man u all niggas was the joint] saw u all a mill times] & would come again if u all toured baltimore maryland area]

    T.... J....

    MUCH LOVE TO YOU TOMI! I hope TVONE's UNSUNG will do a feature on your LEGENDARY group soon, it is overdue!

    T.... J....

    Hey Tomi Is this Wayne or Anthony or both?

    T.... J....

    The credits say it was Larry and Anthony but Tomi said up above he likes listening to his buddy Wayne so I guess Wayne is on here. It sounds like Wayne not Anthony, Wayne gets no credit for singing on Why Have I lost you so it wouldn't be the first time...

    T.... J....

    Tomi Jenkins thank you and Larry for all the years. I'm 24 but I grew up listening to songs like Sparkle and I just want to be. Truly a blessing

  51. L.... S....

    Wayne, Wayne, Wayne Cooper, too amazing!.  Philip Bailey, Eddie Kendricks, Bobby Debarge and countless others are amazing falsettos but Wayne Cooper has the richest, strongest falsetto. It has a lot of beautiful tones to it. The vibrato is second to none.

    L.... S....

    @regvision I REALLY WANTED TO CHIME IN ON THIS YESTERDAY WHEN I FIRST READ YOUR POST BUT TIME DIDNOT PERMIT, ANY WAY WAYNE COOPER, WAS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A NATURAL  AS FOR PHILLIP BAILEY,HE IS GREAT ALSO GIVEN THE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS HE OBTAINED WITH EWF I WILL NEVER SAY HE WAS BETTER THAN WAYNE COOPER, ALSO JUNIE WOULD NOT BE IN THE SAME CATEGORY WITH THESE GUYS AS FAR AS VOCALS ARE CONCERNED, JUNIE MORRISON WAS EXTRAORDINARY IN ALL HE CONTRIBUTED TO THE MUSIC GAME ALTHOUGH HIS CAREER WITH THE OHIO PLAYERS WAS SHORT LIVED HIS BODY OF WORK WITH PARLIMENT FUNKADELIC IS WHAT GOT HIM INTO THE ROCK 'N' ROLL HALL OF FAME........  

    L.... S....

    @lola springs I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT I WOULD TAKE WAYNE OVER PHILLIP. BUT PHILLIP BAILEY WOULD BE IN MY TOP 5... 

    L.... S....

    @lloyd johnson Yes, yes,I would take him too!  

    L.... S....

    Can't forget Ted Mills, Russel Thompkins Jr. Bobby Brown, (The Moments) and Harry Ray also. The dude from Tomorrow's Promise def had a nice one. As Russel Thompkins has the clearest voice I say Wayne had the strongest falsetto but there are many that don't get alotta mention. Anthony Lockett sang on I'll Always Stay he did a great job he sings on this also...

    L.... S....

    Ron Banks of The Dramatics, EJ of Enchantment, and Bobby DeBarge are MOST DISTINCTIVE falsettos ever, with much respect to Ted Mills of Blue Magic, Russell Thompkins of Stylistics, El DeBarge, Billy Beck of Ohio Players, Wayne Cooper, Eddie Kendricks, and Damon Harris of The Temptations, Mark Gordon of LeVert, etc etc

  52. D.... L....

    The coldest words ever....LOVE WILL LOVE YOU.....Cant find better words than that.

  53. D.... G....

    This album made me love Cameo, Wayne Cooper  was smoking the vocals. excellent R and B !

    D.... G....

    Take chance give love a chance yes

  54. e.... t....
