Song Lyrics

I give you love, you turn away
Then wonder why it is nobody ever stays
You've been hurt
But so's the world been hurt a million times before

Don't you close the door
And maybe this time you'll find the other key
That opens up another door
And finds someone comes back for more

Maybe this time
The cards will treat you right
Deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night
Maybe this time, this time

I always smile, act caviler
But what I feel behind the smiles, a little fear
I'm just like you, nobody's fool
Whenever someone gets to close I play it cool

But maybe this time
We'll find the other key that opens up another door
And find someone comes back for more
Maybe this time, this time

You turn to go but then you hesitate
I wonder can I make you wait
Aren't we a pair afraid to care?

But maybe this time
We'll find the other key that opens up another door
And find someone comes back for more

Maybe this time
The cards will treat us right
Deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night
Maybe this time, this time's for real
