Maybe Lyrics
The Three Degrees
Lyrics
SPOKEN:
You know Girls it's hard to find a guy that really blows your mind
And you just dig everything about him
And when you mess up your good thing you feel like you wanna die
I know because I messed up mine
You know girls sometimes we can say some pretty dumb things
I told the nicest guy in the word to get lost I don't need you
But he was cool, he just stood there looking so hurt
And he said If that's the way you want it and he split
I just stood there looking dumb and let that man walk right out of my life
And I've been as evil as a wet hen ever since
I said I wasn't gonna sweat it, oh but I did
How do you just forget something that's a part of you
And then one evening I was standing at the bus stop and I heard a voice behind me say Hi baby
Oh I just fell apart inside because I hadnt heard that voice in such a long time
I turned aroud and there he was, Aw he was looking so good
I couldnt help but wonder if the flame was still there
But I knw I had to find out and it had to be now
So it took his hand and I looked into his eyes and I said
I Said
SUNG:
Maybe if I prayed every night
You'll come home to me
And maybe baby if I cry every day
You'll come back, you'll come back to stay
Maybe
Oh, oh maybe if I could hold your hand
You'dunderstand
Maybe maybe maybe maybe if I just kissed your sweet lips
You'll be at my command
Maybe
Oh, oh, Maybe
Yeah Maybe
