Maybe This Time
Bennett Tony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe this time I'll be lucky
Maybe this time she'll stay
Maybe this time for the first time
Love won't hurry away
She will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time and the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful
Lady happy
That's what I long to be
Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win.

Everybody, they love a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful
Lady happy
That's what I long to be
Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen




Happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win.

Tony, your music is just amazing. Every single time I see a new song. I cannot wait to play it. You make music so perfect. At my Angriest moments, my saddest, my boring car drive. You make it better. Such an amazing voice and the insturmental's are simply amazing. God Bless, keep it up. You deserve much more subscribers for what you do. Many others I could say, didn't deserve it nor earn it. 100!!!
