Something To Live For

You give me something to live for
When you say "Maybe I will"
What can I promise or give for
Such a thrill?
I'd be fulfilled

You make the sweetest addition
When you say "Maybe I do"
You rouse my only ambition--
Winning you

I'm like the old tortoise who raced the hare
I'm slow but I'll win
I'm starting and I'll get there
You have to give in

I'll make a "yes" out of "maybe"
I've got to do it somehow
That gives me something to live for now
