Liza Minelli immortalised this song with her unforgettable Oscar-winning performance in the 1972 movie adaptation of the show, Cabaret. I was lucky enough to see the 1998 Broadway revival with an incredible cast, including Alan Cummings as The Emcee and the late Natasha Richardson playing Sally Bowles. It was Natasha's performance which really inspired me to tackle this great song. I love its power and pain, and how it builds to that commanding, big show ending.

Lyrics:

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this timeFor 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

Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy
That's what I long to be

All the odds are in my favour
Something is bound to begin
It's gonna happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy
That's what I long to be

All the odds are in my favour
Something's bound to begin
It's gonna happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time
Maybe this time I'll win
