Maybe I’m a man and maybe you’re the only woman/
Who could ever help me.

Make sure you listen to the right version of Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed”…the one they play on the radio is Paul McCartney playing with his band Wings. That is the good version. Other versions sound stilted and stale. In this concert McCartney sounds energized and his piano playing is on point. The guitar solos sound great. There is just so much energy in this recording. This would be McCartney’s signature song as a solo artist.

The lyrics on “Maybe I’m Amazed” fairly basic. It is about the excitement of meeting a new woman. The promise. The infatuation. Everything seems amazing because there have been no hurdles yet in the relationship. They are in the honeymoon phase. Paul admits that he is lonely, and this just might be exactly what he needs—almost to get his life back on track. “Maybe I’m Amazed” is an optimistic song about the power of love and the hope that comes when you meet someone special.

Maybe I’m Amazed Lyrics

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 the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you

Maybe I’m a man and 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 understand

Maybe I’m a man and 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 understand

Maybe I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I’m wrong
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
