Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Harry Nilsson

Producer: Richard Perry

Maybe
Maybe you wouldn't believe it
If only I change
You say I'm acting just like a kid
Well, maybe I'm doing
What I'm doing
'cause I'd done what I did
When I was a kid
Maybe, maybe...
Maybe I'm fooling myself
More than anyone can
Maybe I will find another man
But how can I enjoy his touch
Knowing that I love you so much
Baby. . .baby, oh, baby
I could learn to love your mother

And your mother's sister
And if she visited all the relatives
I swear I'd miss her
And everyday before you go to work
I'd stop and kiss her
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Things would be better
If only a letter would come
Happiness is easier for some
I promise I will try to please you
Can't you see how much I need you, baby...
Baby if you wanna hurt me
Laugh at me but don't desert me, baby...
Baby if you don' t believe me
Laugh at me but please don't leave me

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
