Lyrics
Maybe
Expressing uncertainty or possibility.
Oh if I could pray and I try, dear
Yearning for a solution; expressing a desire to pray for a reunion.
You might come back home, home to me
Hoping for a return, emphasizing the concept of home.
Maybe
Repeating the theme of uncertainty and longing.
Whoa, if I could ever hold your little hand
Desiring physical closeness and understanding through holding hands.
Oh you might understand
Believing that understanding may come through physical connection.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Repetition of the word "maybe" intensifies the uncertainty.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe dear
Continued repetition, expressing a sense of uncertainty and longing.
I guess I might have done something wrong
Acknowledging the possibility of personal fault or mistake.
Honey I'd be glad to admit it
Willingness to admit wrongdoing and make amends.
Oh, come on home to me!
An invitation for the listener to return home.
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe yeah
Reiterating the theme of uncertainty and longing with increased intensity.
Well I know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, baby
Expressing a feeling that actions may not make a difference in the situation.
Oh honey, when I go out or what I'm trying to do
Describing challenges faced when going out and the longing for understanding.
Can't you see I'm still left here
Feeling left behind and emphasizing the ongoing need for the listener.
And I'm holding on in needing you
Expressing a strong desire for the presence of the listener.
Please, please, please, please
Begging and pleading for reconsideration.
Oh won't you reconsider babe
Asking the listener to reconsider and return.
Now come on, I said come back
Reiterating the plea for a return.
Won't you come back to me!
Continuing to ask for the listener to come back.
Maybe dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe
Repeating the theme of uncertainty and longing with endearment.
Let me help you show me how
Offering assistance and a willingness to support the listener.
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Repetition of the word "maybe," emphasizing uncertainty.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Continued repetition, intensifying the sense of uncertainty and longing.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Repeating "maybe" and expressing uncertainty with emphasis.
Ooh!
An exclamation, possibly indicating frustration or heightened emotion.
