===Maybe Just Once (Demo)===

'''''Running Time: 4:13'''''

Demo version leaked in 2025. The leak stated: "included on tapes distributed by [[TVT Records]] to solicit producers and foreign distribution deals." It has a somewhat high-sheen, late 80s synthpop sound that is not characteristic of NIN. It features a highly percussive synth sound, similar to that on the outro of "[[That's What I Get]]".

===Maybe Just Once (Purest Feeling)===

'''''Running Time: 5:16''''' Version from the ''Purest Feeling'' bootleg. Similar in sound to the demo. The last two lines of the first two verses are switched, and Reznor sprinkles the line "Oh God" a couple of times during the outro. The intro uses a [[samples|sample]] of dialog from the film ''Diner''and the bridge uses another unidentified sample. ''Diner'' sample in the intro: Beth (Ellen Barkin): "...when we were datin', did you care for me?" Boogie (Mickey Rourke): "Sure, I did." Beth: "You know, I don't mean just cause you could do stuff to me...but, but because you really cared?" Boogie: "Of course, Beth. I mean...there was plenty of girls around for a quick pop... ...if that's what I wanted...but I got to tell you...you were good." Sample in the bridge: "He sat down on this bed and he said, 'Christ, what the hell do you think this place is?' You know, he just couldn't believe it! And I said, 'I don't know but it sure is something different.'"

~~Mickey Rourke (Boogie) and Ellen Barkin (Beth) in ''Diner'' (1982)~~

~~"...when we were datin', did you care for me?"~~

~~"Sure, I did."~~

~~"You know, I don't mean just cause you could do stuff to me...but, but because you really cared?"~~

~~"Of course, Beth. I mean...there was plenty of girls around for a quick pop...~~

~~...if that's what I wanted...but I got to tell you...you were good."~~

I can't believe that what I fear is finally happening to me

Make it hurt

And point the finger at my insecurities

Well I guess I just don't understand about ~~those complexities in your mind~~what you want and what you need And I guess I just don't understand about why this ~~world seems so unkind~~is how it has to be

Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming

And I'm to blame

I wonder just who made the rules up for this game

Well I guess I just don't understand about ~~what you want and what you need~~those complexities in your mind And I guess I just don't understand ~~about~~ why this ~~is how it has to be~~world seems so unkind

Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming

Maybe, maybe just once, I could get what's coming to me

Oh

~~"He sat down on this bed and he said, 'Christ, what the hell do you think this place is?'~~

~~You know, he just couldn't believe it! And I said, 'I don't know but it sure is something~~

~~different.'"~~

So go ahead

What's coming to me

~~Oh God~~

~~Oh, what's coming to me~~

What's coming to me

~~What's coming~~

~~Oh God~~

What's coming to me
