From Wikipedia:
“Maybe Baby” is a rock-and-roll song written by Buddy Holly and the producer Norman Petty and recorded by Holly and the Crickets in 1957. The single, credited to the Crickets, was a Top 40 hit in the U.S., the UK, and Canada.
Background
“Maybe Baby”, originally recorded by Holly and the Crickets in 1957, reached number 17 on the US charts and number 4 on the UK charts; Holly toured in the UK that year (see Buddy Holly discography). The single also reached number 8 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 9 on the Canadian charts. The rather simple lyrics are augmented by a twangy percussive accompaniment, characteristic of rockabilly, which is especially effective in the 8-bar instrumental introduction and the short conclusion.
“Maybe Baby” was recorded at Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City, Oklahoma in the wee hours of September 29, 1957, while Buddy Holly and The Crickets were on a tour (and played that same night, at Oklahoma City Municipal Auditorium with the Show Of Stars ’57). Jerry Allison from The Crickets personally remembers that the song, along with 3 others, was recorded there at Tinker Air Force Base. Graham Pugh, a Buddy Holly researcher from the Oklahoma City area, also has seen airplane tickets documenting the fact that Buddy Holly and The Crickets landed at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City on September 28, 1957.

Maybe baby I'll have you
Maybe baby you'll be true
Maybe baby I'll have you for me
It's funny, honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby you will love me some day
You are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When, someday, you want me
Well, I'll be there, just wait and see
Maybe baby I'll have you
Maybe baby you'll be true
Maybe baby I'll have you for me
Yeah!
Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When, someday, you want me
I'll be there, just wait and see
Maybe baby I'll have you
Maybe baby you'll be true
Maybe baby I'll have you for me
Maybe baby I'll have you for me
