Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Maybe

Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

[Verse 3]

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, dear

I guess I might have done somethin' wrong

Honey, I'd be glad to admit it

Ooh, come on home to me

[Verse 4]

Honey, maybe

Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

[Verse 5]

Well, I know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, baby

Ooh, honey, when I go out or what I'm tryin' to do

'Cause you see I'm still left here

And I'm all alone in needin' you

[Verse 6]

Please, please, please, please

Oh, won't you reconsider babe?

Oh now come on, I said it, come back

Won't you come back to me?

[Verse 7]

Maybe, dear

Ooh, maybe, maybe, maybe, let me help you

Show me how

[Verse 8]

Honey, maybe

Maybe, maybe, maybe

Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

[Verse 9]

Ooh
