Mr. Maybe's Illusion: Love, Lies, and Butterfly Dreams
Lyrics
Hey you
Addressing someone
Mr. Maybe
Referring to a person named "Mr. Maybe"
You called me baby
Mr. Maybe used endearing language, but it was insincere
But that's a lie
The speaker is not naïve and recognizes the falsehood
I'm no fool
Asserting independence and awareness
You can't persuade me
Mr. Maybe's attempts to influence or charm are ineffective
But you had me crazy
Despite this, the speaker was emotionally affected
Feelin butterflies
Feeling excited and nervous, experiencing infatuation
You crept into my dreams at night
Mr. Maybe appeared in the speaker's dreams
You got me crushin' starry eyed
Feeling enamored and captivated
On you
Emphasizing feelings toward Mr. Maybe
On you
Reiteration of attraction and desire
I'm wanting you you're wanting me
Both parties desire each other, but there's history with another person
But she's right there with history
Mr. Maybe has a past relationship, complicating the situation
You made your choice I can't believe
Disbelief at Mr. Maybe's choice, feeling deceived
You had me fallin' for you
Speaker fell for Mr. Maybe despite the complications
(You crept into my dreams at night you got me crushin' starry eyed)
Repeating the impact of Mr. Maybe's presence in dreams and infatuation
(You crept into my dreams at night you got me crushin' starry eyed)
Continuing to emphasize the effect of dreams and infatuation
You lose
Indicating the loss experienced by Mr. Maybe
Mr. Maybe
Readdressing Mr. Maybe
You tried to play me
Acknowledging Mr. Maybe's attempt to deceive
But I saw the light
The speaker realized the truth or saw through the deception
Boy I know
Asserting independence and self-worth
I'm a rockin' baby
The speaker is confident and self-sufficient
Ridin' my Mercedes
Indicating material success and independence
I don't need no guy
Asserting not needing a romantic partner
You crept into my dreams at night
Reiterating Mr. Maybe's appearance in dreams
You got me crushin' starry eyed
Continuing to express infatuation
On you
Reiteration of feelings towards Mr. Maybe
On you
Repeating desire and attraction
I'm wanting you you're wanting me
Both parties desire each other, but there's history with another person
But she's right there with history
Mr. Maybe has a past relationship, complicating the situation
You made your choice I can't believe
Disbelief at Mr. Maybe's choice, feeling deceived
You had me fallin' for you
Speaker fell for Mr. Maybe despite the complications
(You crept into my dreams at night you got me crushin' starry eyed)
Repeating the impact of Mr. Maybe's presence in dreams and infatuation
(You crept into my dreams at night you got me crushin' starry eyed)
Continuing to emphasize the effect of dreams and infatuation
I'm gone now baby goodbye
Expressing departure and saying goodbye to Mr. Maybe
Your silence cut like a knife
The silence of Mr. Maybe was hurtful to the speaker
I hope her heart was the prize
Hoping that Mr. Maybe's current partner was worth the silence
My love my love my love could get you
Expressing the power of the speaker's love
Love my love my love could get you
Reiteration of the speaker's love being influential
Love my love my love could get you
Further emphasis on the potency of the speaker's love
High
Suggesting the intense effect or impact of the speaker's love
(You had me fallin' for you)
Repeating the speaker's falling for Mr. Maybe
(You crept into my dreams at night you got me crushin' starry eyed)
Reiterating the impact of dreams and infatuation caused by Mr. Maybe
