Well, it hurt enough
When you told me you were leaving
Did you have to go
And break this heart in two?

By writing me a letter
I must have read a thousand times
Saying you'll be back
When I'm ready to spend my life with you

And I'm not ready to settle down
But for you, maybe I would
But for you, maybe I could

So I find myself alone by the beach
Where many nights we slept
And I think about this life
I really do live

But it's hard to change a man like me
Who knows what he wants
And he knows what he sees
And someone like you
Will take all the love I've got to give

And I'm not ready to settle down
But for you, maybe I would
But for you, maybe I could
So a part of me says, boy
You're talking like a fool
When you've given all you've got
To give what they have

And it's hard to change a man like me
Who knows what he wants
And he knows what he sees
But a love like this
May never come again, I know

And I'm not ready to settle down
But for you, maybe I would
But for you, maybe I could
For you maybe, maybe, maybe I would
Maybe, maybe for you
Maybe I would
Maybe I could
