Lyrics

Maybe Baby

I heard stories about you

I'd like to think that they were true

I did not know you'd be like that

With those surprises under hat

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

When you dance between the stars

In the night late, sweet and dark

Turn them over one by one

You don't need to jump the gun

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

When the night is feeling flush

And when the night is all a hush

Electric look, eclectic blue

Keep one dream that won't come true

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Maybe baby

Maybe baby

Be my, be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Maybe baby

Maybe baby

You're the one

Maybe baby

Maybe baby

Maybe baby

Be my, be my, be my

Be my maybe baby

Be my maybe baby

I heard stories about you

I'd like to think that they were true

Be my maybe

Be my, be my, be my, be my
