Nine Inch Nails
Maybe Just Once
[Intro]
"...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 gotta 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]
But maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once
I could 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]
But maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming to me
Oh...
[Interlude]
And you sat down on this bed and he 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'd realize for sure
And how can you just believe
I thought I deserve a little more
[Chorus]
But maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming to me
Maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming
Maybe, maybe just once
I could get what's coming to me (to me, to me...)
[Outro]
What's coming to me (What's coming to me)
What's coming to me? (What's coming to me)
Oh, God! (Oh, God!)
Oh, what's coming to me
(Oh, what's coming...)
What's coming to me?
What's coming?
Oh, God
What's coming to me?
