Maybe
Tony Evans And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe you'll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue
Then what will you do
Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near, then
Maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say maybe

May be you'll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue
Then what will you do
Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near, then




Maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say maybe

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Tony Evans And His Orchestra's song "Maybe" depict a sense of longing and uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The singer expresses the possibility that the person they are singing to might think of them when they are alone, perhaps indicating that the relationship has ended or is on the verge of breaking down. The line "Maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue" suggests that the person they are addressing may be in a relationship with someone else, and the singer questions what the person will do if that relationship doesn't work out.


The second verse continues with a similar theme, highlighting the singer's absence and the longing the person may feel for their presence. The line "Maybe you'll ask me to come back again" suggests that there is a chance for reconciliation, but the response is left open-ended with the phrase "maybe I'll say maybe." This line adds an element of uncertainty and indecision to the narrative, leaving the listeners to wonder if the relationship will be given another chance or if it is destined to remain in this state of ambiguity.


Overall, these lyrics convey the emotions of longing, uncertainty, and the potential for reconciliation in a romantic relationship. They capture the complexity and fragility of human connections, where decisions and outcomes are uncertain and feelings can shift between hope and doubt.


Line by Line Meaning

Maybe you'll think of me
Perhaps in moments of solitude, my memory will cross your mind


When you are all alone
During times when you have no company


Maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue
Possibly the person you expect to be faithful to you will betray your trust


Then what will you do
In that case, what actions will you take


Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Perhaps you will find yourself seated, emitting deep breaths of longing


Wishing that I were near, then
Expressing desires for my close presence at that moment


Maybe you'll ask me to come back again
Possibly you will request my return once more


And maybe I'll say maybe
And I might respond with uncertainty or indecision
