I asked you out for Friday night. You told me you’re busy.
I asked you, Sunday, if we might. You only said, “we’ll see.”
And when I called you Wednesday, it was early in the week, but even though,
you only told me “maybe,” just to say you didn’t tell me, “no”,
but, baby, as we both know,

“Maybe” means, “No, I really don’t think so.”
“Maybe” means, “Yes, if you were anybody else.”
“Maybe” means, “Wait”: an ambiguous state
“Maybe” means, “I don’t want no part in breaking your heart.”
Maybe means no.

I called you up to say, “Hello,” but you didn’t answer.
I left you a message so you’d know, which you did not return.
And can’t you think of something else? ‘Cause “maybe”’s such an ugly word.
Instead of puttin’ me on the shelf, you could just say, “There’s other girls,
and you’ll find one in this big, big world.”

‘Cause “maybe” means, “No, I really don’t think so.”
“Maybe” means, “Yes, if you were anybody else.”
“Maybe” means, “Wait”: an ambiguous state
“Maybe” means, “I don’t want no part in breaking your heart.”
Maybe means…

Maybe I should cut the crap and maybe I should make a move.
Maybe I should not react, but, baby, I’ve got nothing to lose.
Maybe I should tell you all the thoughts I have and maybe you’d see.
Maybe I should shit or get off the pot, and maybe nothing’s as it seems
But that’s not what “maybe” means:

“Maybe” means, “No, I really don’t think so.”
“Maybe” means, “Yes, if you were anybody else.”
“Maybe” means, “Wait”: an ambiguous state
“Maybe” means, “I don’t want no part in breaking your heart.”

“Maybe” means, “No, I really don’t think so.”
“Maybe” means, “Yes, if you were anybody else.”
“Maybe” means, “Wait”: an ambiguous state
“Maybe” means, “Dangle from this string, though I know I’m lying,
’cause I don’t want no part in breaking your heart.”
Maybe means no.
Maybe means no.
You don’t have to say the words that you and I both know
‘Cause maybe means no.
