Maybe Songtext
von Andrea McArdle
Maybe Songtext
Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straightening his tie.
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She′s sittin' playing piano
He′s sittin' paying a bill.
Betcha they're young
Betcha they′re smart.
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays and art.
Betcha they′re good --
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
was giving up me.
So maybe now it′s time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "baby"
...maybe.
Betcha he reads
Betcha she sows
Maybe she′s made me
A closet of clothes.
Maybe they're strict --
as straight as a line.
Don′t really care
as long as they're mine.
So maybe now this prayer's
the last one of its kind.
Won′t you please
come get your baby?
Maybe.
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straightening his tie.
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She′s sittin' playing piano
He′s sittin' paying a bill.
Betcha they're young
Betcha they′re smart.
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays and art.
Betcha they′re good --
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
was giving up me.
So maybe now it′s time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "baby"
...maybe.
Betcha he reads
Betcha she sows
Maybe she′s made me
A closet of clothes.
Maybe they're strict --
as straight as a line.
Don′t really care
as long as they're mine.
So maybe now this prayer's
the last one of its kind.
Won′t you please
come get your baby?
Maybe.
