(jim lauderdale/john leventhal/rodney crowell)

I know how the story ends where everything works out
I get the feelin once again that I cant shake your doubt
Instead of hidin from romance
Youre gonna have to take a chance

Baby, dont say maybe
Therell 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, dont say maybe
Therell be no comin back tomorrow, baby
Didnt have to tell me, I just know
Bird in hand must fly away to let me go
I started late but Im learnin fast
I get the feelin this might be my last

Baby, dont say maybe
Therell be no comin back tomorrow, baby

Dont say no, baby, just say so, my baby
Baby, maybe
