Hey baby, I don't want a "maybe"
I want it all or none
I know it ain't your fault if you don't want it all
But my heart ain't just for fun
Hey baby, I don't want a maybe
I want some honesty
And if you just tell me that I ain't what you need
Then we can both smile and leave.
Well I've been wondering what you've been thinking,
So thanks for clearing that up for me
You know, I've had my doubts for awhile now
Because all we ever did was fuck and smoke weed
All your getaway tactics and your roundabout answers
Don't hide a damn thing from me
And the truth is a hard friend to have sometimes,
But she'll bail you out of make believe
Let the pain set you free.
Here's what she sang to me:
Hey baby, I don't want a "maybe"
I want it all or none
I know it ain't your fault if you don't want it all
But my heart ain't just for fun
Hey baby, I don't want a maybe
I want some honesty
And if you just tell me that I ain't what you need
Then we can both smile and leave.
You said you wished that you could be what I wanted
Well, all I ever really wanted was you
But you can't force somebody to hold your heart,
No matter how much you want them to
This is the last song I'll write for you, darling
I've run out of all my cool to fake
But I don't regret a moment of loving you,
Because you are easily my favorite mistake
Some feelings go away.
These might be here to stay.
Hey baby, I don't want a "maybe"
I want it all or none
I know it ain't your fault if you don't want it all
But my heart ain't just for fun
Hey baby, I don't want a maybe
I want some honesty
And if you just tell me that I ain't what you need
Then we can both smile and leave.
I'll give you one last spark of emotion,
One more drop of blood on the page
You were the last thing tying me to this old life,
Now I'm gonna move far away
Because I've got a couple dreams I'm gonna chase
And I'm gonna meet somebody new
And we'll come to love each other's subtleties,
But every now and then, I know I'm gonna think of you
And I hope you think of me, too.
And I hope you find someone who loves you half as much as I do.
