Maybe this time, I'll be lucky

Maybe this time she'll stay

Maybe this time, for the first time

Love won't wander away



She's gonna hold me fast

And I'll be home at last

Not a loser anymore

Not like the last time, and the time before



Everybody loves a winner

But nobody loves me

Mr. Peaceful, Mr. Happy

That's what I want to be



All of the odds are, in my favor

Something's bound to begin

It's gotta happen, happen sometime

Maybe this time I'll win
