Maybe . . . you'll think of me, when you are all alone,
maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue
Then, what will you do?
Maybe . . . you'll sit an' sigh, wishing that I were near
Then, maybe you'll ask me to come back again
and maybe, I'll say maybe!
Maybe . . . (maybe every now an' then, maybe)
you'll think of me,
when you are all alone (wondering what I'm doin' and if I'm alone)
maybe the one who is waiting for you (will prove untrue)
(what'll you say?) then, what will you do? (what'll you do?)
Maybe . . . (maybe as the days go by, maybe)
you'll sit an' sigh
wishing that I were near ('cause you're just a little blue an' lonely)
Maybe you'll ask me to come back again . . .
and maybe . . . I'll say . . . maybe!
