Maybe this time, I’ll be lucky. Maybe this time, he’ll stay.
Maybe this time, for the first time, love won’t hurry away.
He will hold me fast. I’ll be home at last.
Not a loser any more, like the last time and the time before.

Ev’rybody loves a winner, so nobody loved me.
Lady peaceful, lady happy, that’s what I want to be.
Now all the odds are in my favor, something’s bound to begin!
It’s gotta happen, happen sometime,
Maybe this time, maybe this time I’ll win.

[Up ½ step. Repeat from]

It’s gotta happen, happen sometime,
