Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994), usually credited as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. He is known for the charting singles "Everybody's Talkin'" (1969), "Without You" (1971), and "Coconut" (1972). Nilsson also wrote the song "One" (1968), made famous by the rock band Three Dog Night. A tenor with a three-and-a-half octave range, Nilsson was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours. His work is characterized by pioneering overdub experiments, returns to the Great American Songbook, and fusions of Caribbean sounds.
He received Grammy Awards for two of his recordings; Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male in 1970 for "Everybody's Talkin'", a prominent song in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy, and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male in 1973 for "Without You". In 2015, he was voted No. 62 in Rolling Stone's list of "The 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time".
Harry Nilsson was a Swedish football defender who played for Sweden in the 1938 FIFA World Cup. He also played for Landskrona BoIS and AIK.

Maybe
By Harry Nilsson
Maybe - maybe you wouldn't be leavin' if only I'd
change
say I'm actin' just like a kid
Well maybe I'm doin' what I'm doin'
cause I done what I did when I was a kid
Maybe.
Maybe - maybe I'm foolin' myself more than anyone can
Maybe you have found another man
Well how can you enjoy his touch
Knowin' that I love you so much
Baby
Baby - oh baby
I could learn to love your mother
and your mother's sister
And if she'd visit other relatives
I swear I'd miss her
And every day before I'd go to work
I'd stop and kiss her
Maybe, maybe.
Oh maybe - things would be better
if only a letter would come
I promise I will try please you
can't you see how much I need you
Baby
Baby if you don't believe
laugh at me
