Nine Inch Nails
Maybe Just Once
[Sample]
"...when we were dating, did you care for me?"
"Sure, I did."
"Not because you could do stuff to me...but because you really cared?"
"Of course, Beth. I mean...there was plenty of girls around for a quick pop...
...if that's what I wanted...but I got to tell you...you were good."
[Verse 1]
I can't believe that what I feared is finally happening to me
Make it hurt
And point the finger at my insecurities
Well I guess I just don't understand about those complexities in your mind
And I guess I just don't understand why this world seems so unkind
[Chorus]
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming to me
[Verse 2]
So once again the way you feel will never ever stay the same
And I'm to blame
I wonder just who made the rules up for this game
Well I guess I just don't understand about what you want and what you need
And I guess I just don't understand about why this is how it has to be
[Chorus]
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming to me
[Sample]
You sat down on this bed and you said
"Christ, what the hell do you think this place is?"
You know
He just couldn't believe it!
And I said
"I don't know, but it sure is something different"
[Verse 3]
So go ahead
You say those thousand things you think you have to say
Look at me
And tell me love's not such a hard word anyway
Well how can you count on me, I thought you realized for sure
And how can you just believe
I thought I deserved a little more
[Chorus]
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming to me
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once, I get what's coming to me
[Outro]
What's coming to me
What's coming to me
Oh God
Oh, what's coming to me
What's coming to me
What's coming to me
Oh God
What's coming to me?
