Maybe, maybe you wouldn't be leavin' if only I'd change
Say I'm acting just like a kid
Well, maybe I'm doing what I'm doing
'Cause I done what I did when I was a kid, maybe

Maybe, maybe I'm foolin' myself more than anyone can
Maybe you've found another man
Well how can you enjoy his touch
Knowin' that I love you so much, baby?

Baby, oh baby
I could learn to love your mother and your mother's sister
And if she'd visit other relatives, I swear I'd miss her
And every day before I go to work, I'd stop and kiss her
Maybe

Oh, maybe things would be better if only a letter would come
Happiness is easier for some
I promise I will try to please you
Can't you see how much I need you, baby?

Baby, if you wanna hurt me
Laugh at me, but don't desert me, baby
Baby, if you don't believe me
Laugh at me, but please don't leave me
