[Verse 1]
Maybe if I'd taken the time, if I had been more kind
If I had given more to you
Well maybe, if I'd not taken you for granted
Tried to show more understanding, you have feelings too

[Verse 2]
Oh maybe, if looked then I would see, instead of all about me
I would still be here with you
And maybe, if I had only held you tight, not only just at night
Maybe we could have made it through

[Verse 3]
Baby are you sitting by the phone? Waiting for the call?
Waiting for me to ask you home?
'Cause baby, I wouldn't know just what to say
I could start with "I'm sorry," it's not enough I know

[Verse 4]
But maybe, if the phone just rings and rings
That would tell me everything and I don't want to know
So baby, I'll just sit here instead
Crouched with hands over my head and let the tears flow

[Outro]
Maybe if I'd taken the time, if I had been more kind
If I had shown you that I loved you
