You Deserve More than a Maybe
St. Christopher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And the time I have wasted
Even though now I swear
I could never treat you wrong,
I could never treat you wrong
I could never let you down again

For the day will be waiting
I will know to be there
As they say that if you were
Try to keep her standing still
Then you only have yourself to blame

If you care, as you may do
I will know to be there
I could never treat you wrong
I could never treat you wrong
I could never let you down again, again, again, again

You deserve more than,
Deserve more than a maybe
A maybe
You deserve more than,
Deserve more than a maybe
A maybe
A maybe





And you will say you will
Yes, you will.
