Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe, baby, I'll have you
Maybe, baby, you'll be true
Maybe, baby, I'll have you for me (All for me)
[Verse 2]
It's funny, honey; you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe, baby, you will love me someday (Someday)
[Verse 3]
Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
A-when someday you want me
Well, I'll be there; wait and see
[Verse 4]
Maybe, baby, I'll have you
Maybe, baby, you'll be true
Maybe, baby, I'll have you for me (All for me)
[Verse 5]
(Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da, da da dum)
(Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da, da da dum)
(Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da, da da dum)
(Ah)
[Verse 6]
Ah, well a-you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
A-when someday you want me
Well, I'll be there; wait and see
[Verse 7]
Maybe, baby, I'll have you
Maybe, baby, you'll be true
Maybe, baby, I'll have you for me (All for me)
Maybe, baby, I'll have you for me (You for me)
