Maybe This Time from Cabaret is featured in The Rhodes Not Taken, the fifth episode of Season One. It is sung by April and Rachel.
The song is performed after the New Directions became very reluctant to have April join the Glee Club since Rachel quit. It is April's first song performed, and she sings it as proof that she does have the talent. The performance makes Kurt emotional to the point where he cries at the end of the song.
Lyrics[]
April:
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time he'll stay
Maybe this time, for the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore like the last time, and the time before!
Rachel:
Everybody loves a winner!
April:
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful, Lady happy
That's what I long to be
All the odds are, they're in my favor!
Rachel:
Something's bound to begin
April:
It's gonna happen, Ha Ha
Rachel:
Happen sometime
April:
Maybe this time I'll win
Rachel:
'Cause everybody they love a winner
April:
So nobody loved me
Rachel:
Lady peaceful, Lady happy
April:
That's what I long to be
All the odds are, they're in my favor
Rachel:
Something's bound to give in
April:
It's gonna happen
Rachel:
Happen sometime
April:
Maybe this time
Rachel (April):
Maybe this time I'll... Win...! (I'll, win!)
April:
Win!
