I can blame the circumstance on the day we met for sure. It just was not the day or time to fall in love. all I can do without your intention to love, think back of all the good times that we had before. Maybe tomorrow it’s the right time for us to fall in love. Just can’t understand myself. no I think this time I say maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow my chances will change. You know I can blame someone else instead. (Instrumental) It takes some time for me to understand. I don’t need to be the best. let me go from town to town. Tell me what could be wrong. Just simply need to love each other. Can’t put the blame on anybody in my life. I don’t like it, I really don’t. Maybe tomorrow is the right time for us to fall in love. Now I understand myself. Still I think I say maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow It takes some time for me to understand. I don’t need to be the best tonight. Maybe maybe tomorrow maybe tomorrow.
