(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
