She said "maybe" at the end to continue to torment him even though she knew she had no interest in him from the get go. The guy that she was interested was the highschool jock at (0:55) "pretty boy with s curls and lightskin." Women are predictable. If you are NOT the guy she's dreaming about, then buying her (1:17) "a pint of Rocky Road, a long stem rose, a box of cones and a rose" is a futile effort. Women are like zombies, they know what they want and you can't change that no matter how hard you try. Sitting next to her in "homeroom" (the title of the song) doesn't improve your chances at all. Don't be this guy. Don't write poetry like he did, you can't Shakespeare into her heart. That method is outdated. I spoke to this artist, he told me this is a true story and he never got with the girl.
