Lyrics
Chorus:
She didn’t say “Yes”
She didn’t say “No”
She only said “Maybe”
No wonder I’m blue, oh what’ll I do
She’s drivin’ me crazy
Whenever I ask her if she’ll marry me
She’ll just hesitate
Wants me to wait
She loves to aggravate
She didn’t say “Yes”
She didn’t say “No”
She only said “Maybe”
But you can just bet I’ll never forget
This heart breakin’ baby
I ask her to pet, like others I’ve met
How happy I’d be
She didn’t say “Yes”
She didn’t say “No”
She only said “Maybe”
Chorus:
She didn’t say “Yes”, she didn’t say “No”
She only said “Maybe”
And I’m going “bugs” for hugs
From this pretty baby
She never will go canoeing
Any evening out on the lake
Says her head aches
Won’t give a guy a break
She didn’t say “Yes”, she didn’t say “No”
She only said “Maybe”
She won’t hold my hand
Makes me understand
She’s always a lady
If she’d marry me, in Heaven I’d be
But she won’t agree
She didn’t say “Yes”, she didn’t say “No”
She only said “Maybe”
