Maybe This Time

I give you love, you turn away

Then wonder why it is nobody ever stays

You've been hurt, but so's the world

Been hurt a million times before

Don't you close the door

And maybe this time

You'll find the other key that opens up another door

And find someone comes back for more

Maybe this time, the cards will treat you right

Deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night

Maybe this time, this time

I always smile, act cavalier

But what I feel behind the smile's a little fear

I'm just like you, nobody's fool

Whenever someone gets too close, I play it cool

But maybe this time

We'll find the other key that opens up another door

And find someone comes back for more

Maybe this time, this time

You turn to go, but then you hesitate

I wonder can I make you wait

Aren't we a pair, afraid to care

But maybe this time

We'll find the other key that opens up another door

And find someone comes back for more

Maybe this time, the cards will treat us right

Deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night

Maybe this time, this time's for real
