lyrics

Why doesn’t your mother like me
She’s screwing everything up again
Guess I might deserve it ever so slightly
But her attitude has led me to spend
Several nights without even sleeping
And causing me to change my hair
Styles are different now I say politely
But does she listen or care?

Shakespeare and me have a lot in common here
Soliloquies, I could write a ton of these
To be or not to be with you
To be with you or not

Why doesn’t your sister like me
She’s beating me at every game
Living every minute to spite me
Sorry if I pronounced her name wrong
But I’m not good with hyphens
So why doesn’t she just let it go
Get over yourself and like me
I shouldn’t have said that I know

Shakespeare and me have a lot in common here
Soliloquies, I could write a ton of these
To be or not to be with you
To be with you or not

Aah

about

Suzy Callahan Maryland

“Suzy Callahan imbues “Maybe” with more mystery and complex emotions and offbeat observations than entire albums by many artists…Fans of Edith Frost will definitely find much to love in Callahan’s catalog.” - Queen City Sounds and Arts Blog.
