She takes the train on monday
she's thinkin' maybe one day
leaving town without a good-bye
she wants to be so much and
she tries so hard to touch
the life that keeps on passing her by

she would work from 9 to 5
tryin' to keep herself alive
not remembering to see
all the things she could be
all the things she could be

and she's always saying

maybe yes and
maybe no
maybe I'm just a fool
with nowhere to go
maybe this time
I'll cut the deal
maybe I will make it
if I did it for real
I did it for real

he walks into the room and
he smells the sweet purfume
the girl that he's been wanting to call
he wants to talk to her so
very badly but he thinks that she don't know it at all

he was dreaming 9 to 5
trying to keep his hopes alive
believing that one day she'd see
all the things he could be
all the things he could be

and he's always saying

maybe yes and
maybe no
maybe I'm just a fool
with nowhere to go
maybe this time
I'll cut the deal
maybe I will make it
if I did it for real
I did it for real

maybe my inhibitions keep me at bay
and all I need to do
is set them free
maybe my heart is takin' over my head
and what is meant to be will just never be
never be

yeah

maybe yes and
maybe no
maybe I'm just a fool
with nowhere to go
maybe this time
I'll cut the deal
maybe I will make it
if I did it for real
I did it for real

maybe yes and
maybe no
maybe I'm just a fool
with nowhere to go
maybe this time
I'll cut the deal
maybe I will make it
if I did it for real
I did it for real
