Maybe Tonight [*] Lyrics

Maybe tonight I'll get lucky
I've been lonely too long
Maybe tonight some dark stranger
Will hear me singing this song

I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight

Maybe this time I'll be saying
The words that I've wanted to say
Maybe this time I'll be staying
For more than just a day

I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight

I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight I'll get lucky
I've been lonely too long
Maybe tonight some dark stranger
Will hear me singing this song

I've been down, I've played around
I don't like it that way
Love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight

Well, I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight

Well, I'm so tired of being free
Of living just for me
Oh love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight

Oh love, won't you treat me right?
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
