Maybe
Why are you upset?
I said maybe.
You asked if I would let you win.
I said maybe.
Just know, I will never let you win,
unless you're better.
You might be,
Not yet.
Just ‘cause you ask,
Doesn't mean yes.
I was being nice,
Want you to believe I’m sweet,
Just to prove,
I’m better.
Yeah, I’m sweet,
Not to you.
Unless,
Maybe,
You learn,
You learn pleasantness.
How not to tease.
Maybe,
Then I would let you win.
