He already knows

There's something on her mind

And he'd give her the world

But she stumbles every time

It's so hard 'cause he

Wants her always

She believes him, says

Maybe someday

I'll get an answer for you, baby

I'll get an answer for you soon

No one should settle for a maybe

I'll get an answer for you soon

I've made my mistakes

I've played for high stakes

And I know when I make up my mind

Then I've made up my mind

When I do

I'll not waver

When I do

They'll be true

If I do

He's used to it all

Still he's lonesome tonight

She's been burned before

But that doesn't make it right

Time is drifting, still

She won't tell him

He'll just walk on by

As she tells him

I'll get an answer for you, baby

I'll get an answer for you soon

No one should settle for a maybe

I'll get an answer for you soon

I've made my mistakes

I've played for high stakes

And I know when I make up my mind

Then I've made up my mind

When I do

I'll not waver

When I do

They'll be true

If I do
