Say Maybe
Yearning Melodies: Unveiling the Heartfelt Plea in Neil Diamond's 'Say Maybe'
Lyrics
Why make me plead
Expressing frustration or confusion about having to plead.
For what I need
Asking why there's a need to plead for something essential.
And I need you
Declaring a strong need for the person addressed.
Why, why make me weep
Questioning the reasons for causing emotional pain and tears.
Cry in my sleep
Describing the act of crying during sleep, possibly due to longing.
'Cause I need you
Reiterating the strong need for the person causing emotional distress.
Say maybe
Requesting a positive response, possibly seeking affirmation or commitment.
Won't you even say sometime, baby
Asking for at least occasional acknowledgment or affection.
Won't you say lovin' words again
Expressing a desire to hear loving words once again.
Say baby
Repeating the request for a positive response, using a term of endearment.
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
Affirming strong feelings and vulnerability towards the person addressed.
If I tried, I could live without you
Suggesting difficulty in imagining life without the person.
For maybe a day (maybe a day)
Qualifying the ability to live without the person as a brief and uncertain period.
I, I've been around
Indicating experience and having found something important.
Finally found
Highlighting a significant discovery or realization.
And I need you
Reiterating the essential need for the person.
And I, I know what I got
Expressing awareness of one's possessions or achievements.
And I got a lot
Emphasizing abundance but underscoring the continued need for the person.
But baby I need you
Reaffirming the essential need for the person despite other accomplishments.
