Maybe Lyrics

Maybe
Oh if I could pray and I try, dear,
You might come back home, home to me.

Maybe
Whoa, if I could ever hold your little hand
Oh you might understand.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe dear
I guess I might have done something wrong,
Honey I’d be glad to admit it.
Oh, come on home to me!
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe yeah.

Well I know that it just doesn’t ever seem to matter, baby,
Oh honey, when I go out or what I’m trying to do,
Can’t you see I’m still left here
And I’m holding on in needing you.

Please, please, please, please,
Oh won’t you reconsider babe.
Now come on, I said come back,
Won’t you come back to me!

Maybe dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe,
Let me help you show me how.
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah,
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.
Ooh!

Cover art for Maybe lyrics by Janis Joplin

I love this song. She sounds amazing. She knows what it's like to want someone back. Me too.

u gotta love it..it's so unbelieveble when she goes down after the instrumental solo...it's unhuman...and this is one of my fav. songs in the whole world

i'm not exactly sure, but i believe this is a cover of the original "maybe" from the three degrees, which in my opinion, is an excellent version of the song. it's all spoken word, and then the last, maybe two minutes, are an all-out explosion of vocals.

This is not the original. It's a cover of The Chantel's "Maybe", from their 1958's album "We are The Chantels". The Three Degrees also covered this song. The original version is a great, although nothing matches Janis' voice!!!
