Eddie Money - One Chance Lyrics

Love the atmosphere and melodies, one of his really overlooked songs but I remember playing it a lot as a kid in the 90s. RIP Eddie

Despite the conspicuous heavy 80s production, prevalent in that MTV era, all artists succumbed. Heart for instance comes to mind. E still shines with his blue collar honesty, directness and simple love of life.

I love you Eddie Money. God bless you and RIP 🙏

Great cover version. RIP Eddie Money.

Such a great artist, had so many songs that rocked , never going to forget Mr. Eddie Money !!

Always enjoyed this song, remember playing it on vinyl R I P Eddie

One of his best songs....this should have been a huge hit for him. Your amazing music will live on forever, Money Man!

Rest in Peace...my favorite singer, saw him a few times and met him once

Eddie HAS to be Hall of Fame NOW! His absence is telling about the Halls' credibility.

Such a shame that he isn't already in there.

Stans version is way too tight and has too many open spaces between the notes. This version flows with soul and emotion. Fantastic job Mr E Money!!

Stan put his heart in his song and eddy as a pro
delivered with his energy to complete the album.

Both versions are good, but Eddie's is definitely a low slow version with a lot more soul and emotion in it.

This is awful the original is better Stan Meissner version was awesome.

Can't deny that 80s Mr. Mister vibe going on throughout this one with Richard and Steve aboard.

I love this version: Eddie won this version!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS! The beat; the way Eddie's voice melds into the song; the harmony... "Just give me one chance..." I've listened to this song while deployed to S. Korea [and other combat zones] a million-times in the late 80's and I still love this style of music. Thank you Eddie!

this song is one of my all time favorites by Eddie. one he does stay as true as possible to the original versions no matter what the song may be. I always wait for the end because his harmonies with other male singers is outstanding. whether his version is better or not it's still so good. i'll listen to it till the end of time. and besides you have to be a woman to really get this song any of his songs. men listen with a different kind ear. he just can't do any song that I don't like. I love them all.

Still listening more than 20 years later.
Brilliant.

Funny people all over. In the original video of Stan Meissner people commenting Eddie's version is better. Here again, I see vice versa. AOR wherever whenever is best everywhere. Cheers from Ghy, India.

This alblum was Money's best work no doubt. And definately better than Stan.

yes his best album from start to finish

This was a GREAT album.

brilliant album every song

Just give me 1 chance 💕💜💕

This is a sad cover.

this has more soul and depth and i listened to stan meissener's version but eddie the money version is way much better

MrPizza063  yes. No disrespect to Stan but Eddie wins this one. Anytime you have session masters from Mr. Mister Richard Page and Steve George it's an instant WIN. Their vibe is all over this.

Si te gusta Eddie te va gustar esta verison, si te gusta Stan sin duda te va gustar pero no tanto como la original, para mi la original sin dudarlo.

Sorry Stan but Eddie nails this song...you look like Barney Fife

And Richard Page & Steve George (Mr.Mister) sings backing vocal at this track

Eddie's is WAY better than Stan's!

yeah much better eddie the money man rocks

It really is.

They're both good. But Eddie's hit had good flavor.

ONE    CHANCE  -    EDDIE    MONEY    (1986)

This is a joke....lol......Stan Meissner's version is so much better...68,000 views to 6,800 views....says it all.

sorry to have to say but EDDIE THE $MONEY MAN IS THE BEST and no disrespect to stan's version its ok

another yank killing a good  canuck song

And you "butchered" your spelling Eric :p

Super geniales las 2 versiones temazooooooo !

Eddie Money kills this song he sings this song better then anyone one he puts so much feeling in his songs , no one like him he is the best in my opinion .......LUV Eddie Money

I like Eddie's version much better. I cant believe people like Stan's version better! Smh

......Take Me Home Tonight.....

EDDIE MONEY KILLED THIS SONG NO DOUBT

Stan Meissner also wrote the song (for those asking).

You might want to listen to the lyrics over a few more times, there is no mention of 'true love'. Only a love that is strained. True love is a chance in itself, if anyone actually believes in such a myth.

I just went to listen to the Stan Meissner's version... no way is that better than this... in fact is borderline terrible.

Eddie Money jams... of all of his songs. this was my favorite...

Sorry,just listened to the Stan version. Eddie has it hands down!! I love my Eddie!!!

@Boudreaus4 Nothing beats the original version, that's for sure! I love Stan Meissner's version too

TheWhammiesrule clearly Eddie liked this song enough to get permission to record it from Stan Meissner.

Love Stan Meissner's original version....Eddie is a great artist, But not with this song.
