About Maybe He'll Know

"Maybe He'll Know" is the fifth and final single from American singer Cyndi Lauper's album, True Colors, released only in Europe in 1987. It is a remake of a song that Lauper recorded with her former band, Blue Angel. The two versions are slightly different lyrically in a few lines. Billy Joel joins Lauper in 'doo wop' style back-up vocal duties. The Blue Angel version of the song appears in the 1999 film 200 Cigarettes after a quarter when Kate Hudson's character is in the restaurant's restroom composing herself. A remix of "Maybe He'll Know"—presumably created with the intention of single release in the U. S.—surfaced as the B-side to Lauper's "I Drove All Night".

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be my cure
Ah, ah, ah.

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be - oh

Something calls to me
I know, I know
I hear an echo start to pound like a drum, I'm
Chanting a song, anchor me-
But don't take too long...no, no, no, no

I got an anxious feeling
Got this ache engraved in me like stone-
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me say you'll never go.
