Well it hurt enough

When you told me you were leaving

Did you have to go

And break this heart in two

By writing me a letter

I must have read a thousand times

Saying you'll be back

When I'm ready to spend

My life with you



And I'm not ready to settle down

But for you, maybe I would

But for you, maybe I could

So I find myself alone

By the beach where many nights we stood

And I think about this life

I really do live

But it's hard to change

A man like me

Who knows what he wants

And he knows what he sees



And someone like you

Will take all the love I've got to give

And I'm not ready to settle down

But for you maybe I would

But for you maybe I could



So a part of me says, boy

You're talkin' like a fool

When you've given all you've got

To give what they have

And it's hard to change

A man like me

Who knows what he wants

And he knows what he sees



But a love like this

May never come again I know

And I'm not ready to settle down

But for you maybe I would

But for you maybe I could

For you maybe, maybe, maybe I would

Maybe, maybe for you

Maybe I would

Maybe I could
