Maybe This Time Sheet Music Cabaret

Lyrics Maybe This Time from Musical Cabaret

Maybe This Time

Maybe this time, I’ll be lucky
Maybe this time, he’ll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won´t hurry away

He will hold me fast
I’ll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before

Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
‘Lady Peaceful’, ‘Lady Happy, ‘
That’s what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something’s bound to give in,
It’s got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I’ll win

Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
‘Lady Peaceful’, ‘Lady Happy, ‘
That’s what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something’s bound to give in,
It’s got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I’ll win

*****
“Maybe This Time’” is a song written by J. Kander and F. Ebb which was included on the 1972 film Cabaret. It is sung by the character Sally Bowles, played by Liza Minnelli in the film. It had already been recorded and released twice, in similar arrangements, on Liza Minnelli’s debut studio album Liza! Liza!, back in 1964, and on Minnelli’s 1970 album New Feelin’, but turned into a traditional pop standard after its 1972 inclusion on Cabaret.  

Though originally written in 1964 for a different purpose, the song was put into the 1972 version of the 1966 Cabaret musical. This is one of “two numbers that were added only in 1998, after they were used in the movie”, along with Mein Herr and “Maybe This Time”. H2G2 explains “both ‘Money, Money’ and ‘Maybe This Time’ are frequently inserted into the score of revival versions.
