I give you love
you turn away
then wonder why it is nobody
ever stays
you've have been hurt 
but so's the world been hurt a million times before
don't you close the door
and maybe this time you'll find the other key that 
opens up another door
and finds someone comes back for more
maybe this time
the cards will treat you right
deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night
maybe this time
this time

I always smile
act cavilier
but what i feel behind the smiles a little fear
i'm just like you
nobody's fool
i play it cool
but maybe this time
we'll find the other key
that opens up another door and find someone comes back 
for more
maybe this time
this time

you turn to go but then you hesitate
I wonder can I make you wait
aren't we a pair
afraid to care
but maybe this time
we'll find the other key
that opens up another door
and find someone comes back for more
maybe this time
the cards will treat us right
deal a little magic
in the middle of some lonely night
maybe this time
this time's for real
