Precious Maybe
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.
Sometimes I get to thinkin', baby, when I'm all alone
I could maybe make it on my own
The more, oh, you set me free
The more attractive you seem to be
And my baby
My precious baby
You're my maybe
My only maybe
Sometimes I get to thinkin' when we're on the
telephone
Are you really on your own
So more that you set me free
The more deceptive it gets to be
And my baby
My only maybe
You're my baby
My precious maybe
Sometimes I get a feelin' in every part of me
Nothin' is what it seems to be
The more, oh, you set me free
The more addicted I get to be
You're my baby
My only maybe
You're my baby
My precious maybe
Ooh, my baby
Ooh, my baby
My precious baby...
