Lyrics Maybe - N.E.R.D

Love was the egg
See

And it was born in a cloud
With silver lining
Uh-huh, but it broke
I mean it hatched on the ground
So time flew right by me
And voilà

I know you thought your life was gon' be easy
When you didn't call
You found that you were wrong, ha
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 (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 (joke)

Babe, yo
Hold it now
Is y'all there?
How you feel right now?
Yeah, me too
Hey, yeah
(Oh) babe

Hold it now
y'all alright?
See, do you remember?
What 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 laughs on you
It's funny, right?
Babe
