Maybe
Oh, if I could pray, and I try, dear
You might come back home, home to me
Maybe
Whoa, if I could ever hold your little hand
Ooh, you might understand
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, dear
I guess I might have done something wrong
Honey, I'd be glad to admit it
Ooh, come on home to me
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Well, I know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, babe
Ooh, honey, when I go out or what I'm trying to do
Can't you see I'm still left here
And I'm all alone in needing you
Please, please, please, please
Oh, won't you reconsider, babe
Now come on, I said come back
Won't you come back to me
Maybe, dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe
Let me help you show me how
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
