Maybe It's You Lyrics - Carpenters
Review The Song (1)
Maybe it's you
Maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been
The kind who can pass a lucky penny by
Maybe it's wise
Maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought the caring I'd forgot
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me
Couldn't we stay?
Or must we go
Couldn't we stay?
And watch the splashing rock we throw
Only a fool would want to leave this paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me
Couldn't we stay?
Or must you go
Couldn't we stay?
And watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Only a fool
Maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been
The kind who can pass a lucky penny by
Maybe it's wise
Maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought the caring I'd forgot
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me
Couldn't we stay?
Or must we go
Couldn't we stay?
And watch the splashing rock we throw
Only a fool would want to leave this paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me
Couldn't we stay?
Or must you go
Couldn't we stay?
And watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Only a fool

Maybe it's you | Reviewer: Carpenters fan in Broomfield Colorado | 4/23/2005
This is argueably one of the Carpenter's finest albums. Certainly it is my favorite. And this song is the sleeper of the mix. Made at the advent of their meteoric rise, their sound was a contrast to the period's more dominent and wrathful heavy rock. It's a tribute to the age-old adage 'a soft answer turneth away wrath.' Beauty is found in the most unlikely places, or times.
Maybe it's just me. But considering the success of the Carpenters, to say this is their best work, and this a favorite of that work, I think says something.
'Maybe it's you' is simple-yet has a powerful underlying complexity. I've listened to it, off and on, for most of my adult life. I think of it when I pause to throw a stone across water, or stoop down to pick up a penny..."I've never been the kind who can pass a lucky penny by."
Like the penny, it's a song you can put in your pocket and it lasts a lifetime. Richards musical gift, and Karen's "Heaven-sent" "Dulcet" voice, it is to be cherished as any fine work and enjoyed for generations yet to come.
