Maybe
Michelle And Vickie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even when you're here, you're not with me
She's having the child I should've carried
I'll be damned if y'all get married
How's the baby? How you adjusting?
Ain't gon work, you got problems trusting
Let me stop, I'm supposed to be focused
But these nights are the coldest
Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
Maybe that's why I ain't got a man
'Cause I be doing too much thinking
Tryna compensate for your absence
But no drug can take me where you can
No I just want you where I am
1,000 of them, just want one him
Drowning in all of my excuses
Heart is feeling useless
Probably should've used it less
Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
After the last time we talked
Oh, I was a mess
You had me stressed
Oh no no no no no
I wrote the text, I didn't send it
Dialed your number, but said forget it
Oh, what would it change
She's still in the way
But I
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
The song "Maybe" by Michelle and Vickie explores the complicated feelings of a woman who is in love with a man that she cannot have. The song talks about long-distance being a barrier to a possible relationship, even when the man is physically present he is emotionally absent. The woman also reveals that the man's ex-girlfriend is having a child, and the man has trust issues that prevent him from committing to her. The woman is tormented by her love for this man and her inability to be with him.
The chorus features a series of conflicting emotions, where she sings that she loves him but never calls him. She questions whether her flaw of not reaching out to him is what's preventing her from finding love herself. She is grappling with whether to continue holding onto this love or to let it go.
The song is relatable and poignant, speaking to the experience of many people who love someone but are unable to be with them.

There are many potential suitors, but I only want you
Drowning in all of my excuses
I feel overwhelmed with all of the reasons why I don't take action
Heart is feeling useless
My heart feels useless because I can't seem to express my feelings
Probably should've used it less
Maybe I should have been more careful with my heart
After the last time we talked
Since we last spoke
Oh, I was a mess
I was not in a good emotional state
You had me stressed
Your actions caused me stress
Oh no no no no no
Expressing frustration
I wrote the text, I didn't send it
I composed a message, but did not send it to you
Dialed your number, but said forget it
I started to call you, but decided not to
Oh, what would it change
Wondering if it would make a difference if I contacted you
She's still in the way
The mother of your child is still a barrier between us
But I
Regardless,
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
I love you deeply and completely
Maybe I should call, Maybe I should call
I am still considering reaching out to you
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
My love for you is unwavering
But I never call, Maybe that's my flaw
I struggle with taking action and communicating my feelings

Her name is...Ruby Rage. She was the rising star acrobat and had won the heart of the Strongman. But the circus owner's daughter was in love with the Strongman and was jealous of Ruby. So, one day, she damaged Ruby's safety line before her performance. The line snapped, Ruby plummeted to the circus ring floor. The Strongman ran to her, cradled her in his arms, and cried tears of red; staining her once golden locks a deep crimson. His anguish sparked a dark fire in Ruby's heart; bringing her lifeless body back from the void. When she awoke, her soul was replaced with a lust for vengeance. She would have her sweet, sweet revenge on that little trollop that meant to do her in and sooth the heart of her lover.
