Lyrics:

Writers: 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
