Lyrics

  1. Maybe

    Alright, alright! This is an old rock & roll tune, it was done by the Chantells in the 50s, a song called Maybe

    Maybe

    Oh if I could pray and I try, dear,
    You might come back home, home to me.

    Honey, maybe
    Whoa, if I could ever hold your hand
    Ooh you just might understand.
    Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.

    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe dear
    I guess I might have done something wrong,
    Honey I'd be glad to admit it.
    Oh, come back home to me!
    Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe yeah.

    Well I know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, babe,
    Oh honey, when I go out or what I'm trying to do,
    'Cause I'm still left here
    Holding on in needing you.

    Please, please, please, please,
    Oh won't you reconsider babe.
    Come on, I said come back,
    Won't you come back to me!

    Maybe dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe dear,
    Let me help you show me how.
    Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,
    Maybe, maybe, maybe,
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.
    Ooh!

  2. Raise Your Hand

    Great, great broad, miss Janis Joplin, please!

    If there's something you need,
    Hon that you've never, ever, ever had.
    And I know you've never had it.
    Oh, honey, don't you just sit there crying,
    Don't just sit there feeling bad.
    No, no, no.
    You'd better get up,
    Now, don't you understand ?
    And raise you hand.
    I said, raise, raise your hand.

    You know I'm standing about, yes I am.
    And I want to give you all my love.
    Oh, won't you open up,
    I said, open up your heart.
    Please let me try.


    You'd better be good.
    Don't ya understand ?
    Raise your hand.
    I said, I wanna see it up in the air, babe,
    Right here, right now, yeah!

    Whoaaaah, yeah!

    If you ever, ever need me,
    Honey why won't you come and tell me so now ?
    Baby if you want to give all of my loving,
    I want to let it go.
    You'd better be good, don't you understand,
    I said raise it, raise it, raise it, raise it,
    Raise.

    Honey honey what it was
    Honey honey what it was
