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
