maybe then

  Maybe Then

Maybe if I changed

Maybe then he would not leave

Maybe if I wore a pretty bow

Maybe then I would not hear the slamming of the door  

I do not know what I must have done

For him to leave so easily

I’ll change; I’ll do what ever just to please

Can’t he love me?

I do know I’ll beg and plead

Maybe then he would not leave

I did before you know

I learned to make love like them

Like the other ones who come before

I changed so he would stay

He said I was good you know

He wanted me to speak

Dirty little things

Like fuck me, hurt me, if you please

Really I was just a slut he had to tell me so

Maybe if I changed, maybe then he would not go 

All this talk makes me horny

Get down bitch and make me proud

And shut those damn kids up

I am your man, aint I better then anyone

To tell the truth he has to know

I would do anything, anything to go

But the children need a man

So maybe now he will not go 

Women like me we don’t need

As long as the children are feed and clothed

My house stays clean,

Maybe now he will not go 

Maybe if and maybe then

Maybe when the children grow

Maybe then I can say

I beg for just a moments strength

To walk out that damned ole door

But today maybe if I wore a pretty bow

Maybe then he would not go
