When you see me in the club with another guy
Remember it was you who said goodbye
You expected me to sit around and wait for you
I'm telling you boy that you're not that fly
See you're the one who told me a pack of lies
It was obvious from the guilty look in your eyes
But really boy it comes as no surprise
That you were playing me
Now you thought it was enought to spend your money on me
When i really wanna spend time in your company
I tried so many times to make you see
That you can't buy my love
[Chorus]
When you see me in the club with another guy
Remember it was you who said goodbye
You expected me to sit around and wait for you
I'm telling you boy that you're not that fly
Now you're watching me on the dancefloor
Wishing you and I could've been more
You had your chance with me
Now I'm free to do whatever the hell i like
I can call my girls and go out and party all night
My soul has been uplifted and it feels so right
Now you're not in my heart
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Uh, come on, it ain't your birthday, it ain't your birthday
Uh, come on, it ain't your birthday, it ain't your birthday
Don't think i don't know boy
My cash, it brought you joy
Most things you own, don't mean to moan but it's not OK, boy
Don't think i don't know boy
My cash, it brought you joy
You had your chance with me
[Repeat Chorus x2]
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
I've always wanted more
I couldn't settle for second best in life
And end up like the rest
I know out of thousands
Only one will come forward
A narrow gate that I'm gonna go for
I'll try but I may not succeed
But if I know I took that chance
Well that's all I need
I'll let the world disagree
But I'm gonna take that chance
The hour glass drops sand
As we waste our time
We stay on standby
As time destroys all in it's way
Wasting days
Be we've got to move
Success and failurein this world
All the same mere games that won't remain
So what's getting ahead unless we transcend?
For that I'm gonna try and try again
All the rain came down on a cold new town
As he carried you away
From your father's hand that always seemed like a fist
Reaching out to make you pay
He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Where the two he left you with
Oh lord where did the feeling go
Oh lord I never felt so low
Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance
And the price was far too long
Oh lord where did the feeling go
He was standing all alone
Trying to find the words to say
When every prayer he ever prayed
Was gone
And the dreams he¹s never owned
Are still safely tucked away
Until tomorrow he just
Carries on
See the Devil in the streets at night
See him running in the pouring rain
See him grinning Rneath a twisted light
I¹ll be back again
See the people standing in a row
See them nodding like a field of grain
No one sees the sickle though
Coming Rcross the plain
And this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Take a chance
See the Devil he is so intense
See the Devil go and change his name
What¹s the going price of innocence
It can¹t be the same
Is it dark when the moon is down
Is it dark with a single flame
If there¹s glass falling all all around
I am not to blame
And this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Burn the night away
Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to nothing but this chance
I fear you
Your silence
Your blindless
See what you want to see
In darkness
One kindness
One moment
Tell me what you believe
I believe in nothing
Never really had to
In regards to your life
Rumors that are not true
Who¹s defending evil
Surely never I
Who would be the witness
Should you chance to die
Father can you hear me
This is not how was meant to be
I am safe and so are you
As for the others destiny
I believe that situations
All depend on circumstance
Look away
Look away
Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood in his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Friday bank card, yours got stuck
I loaned you a phone quarter, said, "Good luck?
Where are you now?
Me and glasses, Saturday slump
You and your shopping, I looked up
Our eyes met, mine are green
You'd had a peroxide thing
Call now, look me up
Sunday walk, weaver's park
I was on the lakeside
Where the playgrounds meet
In bare feet
You said, "Mighty cold today?
You never see what I think
You didn't like your daytime job
I was born to travel
You were a camera, I dropped my keys
I'm on the northbound, you were asleep
I said, "Are you holding??
?You wanna ride the silent sky??
I wrote a story on the fly
You in the tabletop
I said, "I've had enough of the city?
I held a bag of apples
You at the last table
I had had a soy dog
Cafe Streetside, Tuesday bloom
You wanna be on fire
I said, ?I hung the moon?
Wednesday grocery, corner of vine
You were in the checkout line
I dropped my frozen dinners
You helped pick them up
Thursday cab rush, our block
You with broken accent
My heart stopped
You laughed, I worry
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Swarming like a dozen crushing blows
All those glances, midtime dances
Chance
I never looked it up
You hit the sidewalk talking
Said, "I'd read the ads, do you?
Where are you? will you read this?
Can I see?
This is surely moving faster
Than I can think
A minute shy, a passing eye
I know I saw you there
Will you read this? can I see?
What did I see?
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Swimming like a dozen crushing blows
All those midtime dances
Chance
Chance
Je crois bien qu'il me reste une chance
Et je voudrais pour une fois la garder
Ne pas gâcher cet amour inespéré
Chance
Pour une fois que j'ai de la chance
J'avais bien peur de ne plus croire au bonheur
Mais il faut croire à l'amour du fond du cœur, yeh
Il y avait par le monde une inconnue
Et en deux secondes
J'ai su qu'avec elle je tenais ma
Chance
Depuis longtemps j'attendais ma chance
Elle est venue quand je croyais tout perdu
Je veux garder cet amour inattendu
Il y avait par le monde quelqu'un pour moi
Et ma folle ronde est terminée
Car j'ai trouvé ma
Chance
Je crois bien qu'il me reste une chance
Et je voudrais, ouais, pour une fois la garder
Ne pas gâcher cet amour inespéré, yeh
Ouais, chance
J'ai ma chance
Ma vrai chance
Ma dernière chance
People watching, every life a mystery
Sunny faces, but you know the story's incomplete
Satisfaction, it seems a million miles away
So I'm moving to another state of mind
I'm believing, there's no better place or better time
And everyday we live, there's a chance to give
And every time we speak, there's a chance for peace
And everyday we live, there's a chance
Oh, little sister, put aside your fear and breathe
In the secret, do you hear the voice of Heaven saying
"Come together, hope is stronger than it seems?"
Where you're standing there's no running out on love
Only human, but you've set your eyes on the things above
And everyday we live, there's a chance to give
And every time we speak, there's a chance for peace
And everyday we live, there's a chance
And every time we speak, there's a chance
A chance for you, a chance for me
A chance to serve in a time of need
A chance to live, a chance to tell
A chance to lose yourself
(For somebody else)
And everyday we live, there's a chance to give
And every time we speak, there's a chance for peace
And everyday we live, there's a chance to live
And every time we speak, there's a chance for peace

Born | Amber Nicole Benson (1977-01-08) January 8, 1977 (age 35) Birmingham, Alabama, U.S. |
Amber Nicole Benson (born January 8, 1977) is an American actress, writer, film director, and film producer. She is best known for her role as Tara Maclay on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but has also directed, produced and starred in her own films Chance (2002) and Lovers, Liars & Lunatics (2006).[1] She is also co-director with Adam Busch of Drones.[2]

Benson was born in Birmingham, Alabama to Edward Benson, a psychiatrist,[3] and Diane Benson. She has a younger sister, Danielle, who is an artist. She had a mixed Christian and Jewish upbringing (her father was Jewish and her mother was Christian).[4][5][6]
As a child, Benson studied music and dance, and performed in the Birmingham Children's Ballet, as well as in local theater. She attended high school (one of her classmates being Joey Fatone) in Orlando, Florida after her family moved there, in part to help Amber pursue acting opportunities, the most prominent of which was an unsold television series called Kids' News, in which Amber was to have been one of two main anchors. The Bensons then relocated to Los Angeles, and Amber began to very quickly land roles in films and on television.
Benson was 14 when she made her feature-film debut in the Steven Soderbergh-directed movie King of the Hill.[7] While still working on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Benson co-wrote the movie The Theory of the Leisure Class with director Gabriel Bologna, released in 2001,[8] and directed, produced, edited, and acted in a digital video feature called Chance (2002) which also featured her Buffy co-star James Marsters. She also collaborated with director James Kerwin in 2003 to produce her play, Albert Hall, in Hollywood.
After her time on Buffy, Benson began production on a series of animation films for the BBC with co-creator Christopher Golden and animation studio Cosgrove Hall. Ghosts of Albion: Legacy (2003) and its sequels are available on the BBC Cult website. In 2006, Benson released her second independent feature film Lovers, Liars & Lunatics through her own production company, Benson Entertainment. The film was shot on film and was partly financed by the sale of limited edition "Triangle" Tara Buffyverse action figure. The project, initially called "The Dirty Script," was ultimately titled Lovers, Liars and Lunatics by producer Diane Benson, Amber's mother. In that same year, Benson portrayed the "vegetarian" vampiress Lenore on Supernatural.
Benson is the co-director with Adam Busch of the comedy film Drones.[9]
Benson sang in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode "Once More, with Feeling". She provided vocals for the songs "I've Got a Theory / Bunnies / If We're Together", "Under Your Spell" (her solo), "Walk Through the Fire", "Standing/Under Your Spell (Reprise)" and "Where Do We Go from Here?" In 2002, she appeared in two songs on Buffy colleague Anthony Stewart Head's album Music for Elevators. She also sang "Toucha Toucha Touch Me" (aka "Creature of the Night") at VH-1's celebrity karaoke tribute to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Benson also writes novels and comic books mostly in collaboration with Christopher Golden. In 2001, Benson worked with Golden, Terry Moore, and Eric Powell of Dark Horse Comics to create the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow and Tara comic book titled "WannaBlessedBe". The following year (2002), she worked with Christopher Golden and AJ (Ajit Jothikaumar) of Dark Horse Comics to create the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow and Tara comic books titled Wilderness #1 and Wilderness #2. In 2005, Benson collaborated with artist Jamie McKelvie on a short story within the Image Comics collection Four Letter Worlds. In 2006, Benson collaborated with artist Ben Templesmith on Demon Father John's Pinwheel Blues published by IDW as a four-part split-book, Shadowplay (with work by Ashley Wood and Christina Z). Benson and Golden have also collaborated on two supernatural thrillers: Ghosts of Albion: Accursed and Ghosts of Albion: Witchery. These books follow the fortunes of Tamara and William Swift, who first appeared in the BBC computer animated web movie Ghosts of Albion: Legacy. In December 2006, Benson and Golden released yet another collaboration, the short novel The Seven Whistlers which is distributed through Subterranean Press in a limited number of signed copies. In September 2007, Benson signed a three-book deal with Ginjer Buchanan of Penguin Books. Death's Daughter, was released by Ace Books[10] on February 24, 2009; Cat's Claw,[11] on February 23, 2010; and Serpent's Storm, in February 2011. In an interview, Benson indicated there might be a fourth volume.[6] On February 28, 2012, the fourth book in the series, How to Be Death was released.[12]
During the 2008 campaign season, Benson was featured in the MoveOn.org-sponsored pro-Barack Obama advertisement.[13]
As of 2007, Benson resides in Los Angeles, California. She describes herself as a "lapsed vegetarian".[14] As of March 2009, she was dating Adam Busch, who played Warren on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[15]
