(jim lauderdale/john leventhal/rodney crowell)
I know how the story ends where everything works out
i get the feelin' once again that i can't shake your doubt
instead of hidin' from romance
you're gonna have to take a chance
Baby, don't say maybe
there'll be no comin' back tomorrow, baby
I got used to knowing bliss was more than i deserved
after all this time i find you may have lost your nerve
the voice inside, so far away
i wanna hide, but i hear you say
Baby, don't say maybe
there'll be no comin' back tomorrow, baby
didn't have to tell me, i just know
bird in hand must fly away to let me go
i started late but i'm learnin' fast
i get the feelin' this might be my last
Baby, don't say maybe
there'll be no comin' back tomorrow, baby
Don't say no, baby, just say so, my baby
baby, maybe
