Maybe This Time

I give you love, you turn away

Then wonder why it is nobody ever stays

You've been hurt

But so's the world been hurt a million times before



Don't you close the door

And maybe this time you'll find the other key

That opens up another door

And finds someone comes back for more



Maybe this time

The cards will treat you right

Deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night

Maybe this time, this time



I always smile, act caviler

But what I feel behind the smiles, a little fear

I'm just like you, nobody's fool

Whenever someone gets to close I play it cool



But maybe this time

We'll find the other key that opens up another door

And find someone comes back for more

Maybe this time, this time



You turn to go but then you hesitate

I wonder can I make you wait

Aren't we a pair afraid to care?



But maybe this time

We'll find the other key that opens up another door

And find someone comes back for more



Maybe this time

The cards will treat us right

Deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night

Maybe this time, this time's for real
