Writer(s): kander/ebb Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time she'll stay Maybe this time, for the first time Love won't wander away She's gonna hold me fast And I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Not like the last time, and the time before Everybody loves a winner But nobody loves me Mr. peaceful, mr. happy That's what I want to be All of the odds are, in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win
