N.E.R.D. › Lyrics › Maybe [Remix]

Love was the egg
See

And it was born in a cloud
With silver lining
Ah ha, but it broke
I mean it hatched on the ground
So time flew right by me
And while I

I know you thought your life was goin' be easy
When you didn't call
You found that you were wrong, huh
See I know you thought your life was goin' be easy
You thought you had it all
But you found that you were wrong

See maybe
There was something wrong
And you weren't telling me, no, oh
See, see maybe
The laugh's on me
And life was telling me a joke, oh joke

Well they say
If something's yours and you let it go
If it comes back to you it was yours all along
Well I let you go along with those lies from you
I wonder what else lies in you
Or did the lies just eat it gone?

See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
When you didn't call
You found that you were wrong
See I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
You thought you had it all
But you found that you were wrong

See maybe
There was something wrong
And you weren't telling me, no, oh
See, see maybe
The laugh's on me
And life was telling me a joke, oh joke

Babe, yo
Hold it now
Is y'all alright ?
How you feelin' right now?
Yeah me too

Hold it now, y'all alright?
See, do you remember
What's it's like to
Wake up in
Her love nest?
Get it, love nest?

And now she's gone
Gone
Gone
Gone

At which point, you realize
Life is but a joke
And it laugh's on you
It's funny right?

Babe
