YessSsssSSSSsss ...!"

my favorite Stephanie Mills song so underrated. Still listening in 2019

✊💯💝✌2019

Totally agree, my all time favorite song by Stephanie. It's perfect in every way.

My favorite song she deserves an award

THANX TO STEPHEN BISHOP THE TRUE WRITER OF THIS CLASSIC SONG CHECK IT OUT PEOPLE TRUTH😚

I sang this when I was young 1986 or so

My jam 2018 still

This song brings back so many memories of my freshman year of high school 1984.

This song reminds me of someone who wants to move on but the love and deep emotion that is held for someone gives a true moment of pause. You weigh your options and yet you still find that you love that special someone. So to that I say this...give it another go and it's going to take equal effort on both parts. Even a candle blows out by itself sometimes. If the love is strong look in a mirror and dig deep within yourself. If you can discover once again the magic that brought you two together then I agree with Stephanie...give it half a chance.

I used to sing as a kid. Luv this song. Auntie Brenda could sing any song.r.i.p. Auntie luv you.😇💙

so much better than Kenny's. Beautiful production and marvelous instrumentation!

Does Ms. Mills ever sing this at concerts?

This is a song for a time when you've shared an unsaid crush with someone and on the third date it's late, you've both had a wonderful evening and the time is quiet. This song is playing and you get that first heartfelt kiss and look deep in each other's eyes lost for words. Then you both smile and cuddle, exhaling at the same time. Magical. Love. Give it half a chance. A beautiful thing. Yes indeed.

my favorite song

love this song bring back beautiful memories

I'm forever a fan,tell stephanie we need another slow Ballard

I know when I first heard stephanie, it was the album that had "WHAT CHA GONNA DO WITH MY LOVING ".... YEARS AGO AND THAT SEALED THE DEAL FOR ME......EVER LASTING LIVE

Thanx for still being around..

Always

She always give you a smooth ballad on all of album or cd. I have them all from the days of Motown, yes Motown. She to me is the premier vocalist.

Wow, thanx!

I started buying her lps/cds in 1979 with "WHAT CHA' GONNA DO........." since i have heard the 2 Motown albums respectully 1974 & 1975. Stephaniie sings I've Got The Cure & Merciless are my 2 Favorite SM lps. DM

I love this song. It's one of my favorites. I also like it by Kenny Loggins as well from his 1979 album "Keep the Fire".

damn this smooth vibration sounds good great job stephanie

My all time favorite Stephanie Mills song, it is perfection and her emotional, heartfelt vocal never fails to move me. I also love the Kenny Loggins original version, but Stephanie's really has my heart.

+Kay Ruffin not really i love this song so much there is another one on that ive got the cure album called the medicine song

Kenny loggins wrote this for Stephanie this song just stuck with me I love give it half a chance.

@Deondrick Woodard sad didn't know that George duke passed away wow r.i.p.

@Deondrick Woodard 1984

+Deondrick Woodard He co-wrote the song but not FOR Stephanie. It was on one of his albums years before.

This is, and always will be, one of my favorites.

NO HE DIDN'T WRITE THIS FOR HER HE DIDN'T WRITE IT ,WHO WROTE THIS AND SUNG IT FIRST WAS STEPHEN BISHOP AND THEN KENNY REMADE IT THEN STEPHANIE LATER😀

This is the shit dam she can sang I like Kenny singing this too but she nail it

An amazing job on this one.

O OK cool I will try and see if she coming to the bay area

"I wake up
In the middle of a dream
To an unfamiliar scene
Wonder what I fell into

Who knows why
People look for alibis
In a passing stranger's eyes
What am I supposed to do

So tonight
Tell me that you love me, tonight
The only way to know is to try
Give it half a chance

And the glow
From the bathroom down the hall
Lights a mirror on a wall
Where a stranger stares at me

Hello stranger, where you been?
Do you still remember when?
Well, every heartache has an end
'N maybe yours is on the way

So tonight
Tell me that you love me, tonight
The only way to know is to try
Give it half a chance

One by one
Let the nights go on
And you won't need yesterday beside you
See yourself in love again
And believe in the arms you're in
Tonight
Try
Give it half a chance
Give it half a chance
Tell me 
That you love me babe
That you need me babe
Tell me that you love
Tell me
Tell me that you love
Lean on love and love will grow 
Give it just half a chance
Lean on love and love will grow 
Give it just half a chance 
Lean on love and love will grow
Give it just half a chance 
Lean on love and love will grow
Give it just half a chance

(Actual Complete Lyrics!)

Got me over here smiling :)

Thank you

One of my favorites by Stephanie!

Found Some Lyrics, Maybe they will help


"I wake up

Who knows why
People look for alibis

So tonight
Tell me that you love me, tonight
The only way to know is to try
Tonight, give it half a chance

And the glow
From the bathroom down the hall
Lights a mirror on a wall
Where a stranger stares at me

Hello, stranger, where you been?
Do you still remember when?
Well, every heartache has an end

The only way to know is to try
Tonight, give it half a chance

Tell me that you love me, tonight

Tell me that you love me, tonight
Tell me that you love me, tonight
Tell me that you love me, tonight

@Victor Antonio I have loved this since I was a very young child. I have looked high and low for it. Still can't locate it on CD. I am glad I can finally YouTube it. That was impossible at first so it is much appreciated. It takes me back to a very protective place in life. There is no real music anymore. I love Stephanie. She's my favorite. I thought I'd add the lyrics because you can only find Kenny's and those aren't hers. Lol. Stephanie's lyrics belong to Stephanie. Thanks again.

Thanx for loving and appreciating her talent for so long. Are we connected on Facebook?

No. I'm not on Facebook.

Thanks for the link.

You're welcome..

Always loved this song. Played it over and over

Great, great song..

Is that her only son she is pictured with, he looks a lot like her?

I don't know what picture you're talking about so I can't answer that but yes, she only has one son.

@Victor Antonio Victor, now you know full well that girl123boy456 was referring to the photo of you and Stephanie...the one you included above. LOL

Girl123boy456, no, that was not Stephanie's son. The young man with her in the photo is Victor Antonio, a good friend of Stephanie's, and the one who posted the song. :-)

Stephanie mills, I always love your voice, and always love you,as a songstress, you always kept singing,you never let nothin stop you,because without you there's no song,love you forever songstress.

My friend Niecy used to blow this song. She was murdered in 1988; man, I miss listening to her sing.

I'm sorry Angelica..

I hate I missed her at the Howard in DC. Love this song. Thanks for posting. Memories of Knoxville College.

If you're following me on facebook I'll let you know when she'll be back in your area.

I will and thank you!

My pleasure..

Best song Stephanie Mills ever did.  And it's almost impossible to find anymore.  Thanks for posting!

Thanx..

Soulful rendition and also one of my favorite ballads of S. Mills. I was watching an interview where she stated that this and Home were two of her favorites that she never tires of singing. Then why like you stated is it virtually imposible to find this song!:) I actually have a copy of the album, but I would like to have a remastered version on cd. Anyway, great song and I appreciate your post.

Thanx Michael..

You can find this song at a record store here in Minneapolis Minnesota you can order it the place is called Electric Fetus

Still a beautiful ballad......Rest In Heavenly Peace, Legendary Mr. George Duke.
