Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Maybe someday I'll be strong

Maybe it won't be long

I'll be the one who's tough, yeah

You'll be the one who's got it rough

It won't be long and

Maybe I'll be real strong

[Verse 2]

Maybe I'll do things right

Maybe I'll start tonight

You'll learn to cry like me

Baby, let's just wait and see

Maybe I'll start tonight

And do things right

[Verse 3]

You'll control me

Oh, so boldly

Rule me 'til I'm free

'Til the pain that shakes me

Finally makes me

Get up off of my knees

[Verse 4]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]

Maybe I'll be fast as you

Maybe I'll break hearts too

But I think that you'll slow down

When your turn to hurt comes around

Maybe I'll break hearts

And be as fast as you

[Verse 6]

Uh

[Verse 7]

You'll control me

Oh, so boldly

Rule me 'til I'm free

'Til the pain that shakes me

Finally makes me

Get up off of my knees

[Verse 8]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 9]

Maybe I'll be fast as you

Maybe I'll break hearts too

But I think that you'll slow down

When your turn to hurt comes around

Maybe I'll break hearts

And be as fast as you

[Verse 10]

Maybe I'll break hearts

And be as fast as you

[Verse 11]

Ah, sookie

[Verse 12]

Maybe someday I'll be strong

Maybe it won't be long

Yeah, I'll be the one who's strong

You'll be the one who's gonna cry

[Verse 13]

You're gonna cry like me

Maybe we'll just wait and see

Yeah, maybe I'll be as fast as you

And maybe I'll break hearts too
