Maybe Katie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[CHORUS (x2):]
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?
What's the use in hesitating?
Can't you see that Katie's waiting?
Just because her youth is fading
Doesn't mean that she's not worth dating
[CHORUS (x2)]
I don't know what the fuss is all about
Just take it slow
It's not like you can't live without her
To and fro
If you've got a shred of doubt then it's not worth it
[CHORUS (x2)]
Can't you see her with her arms wide open
She's everything that you've been hoping for
Forever's not so long, stop moping
She's got a daughter and you're just not coping.
Do you know everyone you ever swore you'd love for life
I don't know them anymore
I know their names
I'd recognize them on the street and I don't love them
[CHORUS (x4)]
