Maybe This Time



I’ve had a thing for ya since we met
Got me feeling real good
Yeah, you can bet
I know now what I gotta do
I gotta get myself right next to you

So, maybe this time I’ll say hello
Maybe this time I’ll let you know
Just what I’m feeling deep inside
Maybe this time

I got you here inside my mind
I think about you all the time
Only you can set me free
Baby you and I are meant to be

So, maybe this time I’ll say hello
Maybe this time I’ll let you know
Just what I’m feeling deep inside
Maybe this time

I know now that it could be right
So, put up your dukes
Cause you’re in for a fight

Maybe this time
I’ll say hello
Maybe this time I’ll let you know
Just what I’m feeling deep inside

Maybe this time I’ll say hello
Maybe this time I’ll let you know
Just what I’m feeling deep inside
Maybe this time

Only you can make it right
So, maybe this time

About this poem

Maybe this time is actually a song that I wrote. I hear the melody in my head (unfortunately I'm not a composer) but that's why I can arrange the words before the melody. It isn't for anyone in particular. I heard some rhyming and I started typing. You gotta strike when the inspiration hits.
