When I babysit little Daniel we play Beatles songs - I try on the piano and he soundlessly on the bass guitar. His favorites are "When I'm Sixty Four", "Twist and Shout", "All You Need is Love", "Hello, Goodbye." Daniel, who is three, will ask which Beatle sings each one. Last time I asked him what my favorite song was and he lisped "Amazing." I laughed with delight because he had noticed that I'm always fumbling with the score to "Maybe I'm Amazed."
Here is why I like the song: it's about a person who is confused - in the middle of something that she/he doesn't really understand - which is the way I feel all the time! And the singer is grateful for his woman who is there for him even if he doesn't deserve it. Apparently Paul McCartney wrote it for Linda. And since that was a love that lasted until death it gives the song credence.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time.
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pull me out of time
You hung me on the line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.
Maybe I'm a man
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
