Primero un poco de historia sobre la versión original (no se la pierdan sino la escucharon); "Maybe I´m Amazed" es probablemente el primer gran éxito en la carrera de Sir Paul McCartney como solista, se incluyó en el álbum "McCartney" de 1970, junto a otras joyas como "Junk" y "Teddy Boy" (ambos temas compuestos durante la etapa beatle) "Tal vez estoy asombrado", tal como sería la traducción, es uno de los tantos temas que Paul compuso para el gran amor de su vida Linda Eastman, podríamos mencionar también "I will", "Two of us" o "My love". Siete años después de su lanzamiento, fue relanzado como single en Febrero del 77; cabe destacar además que "Maybe I´m Amazed" fue elegido como el tema #338 entre las canciones más importantes de la historia según una encuesta de la Revista Rolling Stone.
Ahora, volviendo a JEM, está galesa nacida en el año 1975 es una artista definitivamente ecléctica, y cruza los límites de los géneros musicales muy a menudo, por lo que resulta muy difícil encasillarla en alguno. Su versión del clásico de Paul, se incluyó en el 2do disco de la Banda de Sonido Original de la serie estadounidense "The OC", y fue el Lado B de su single "They" del 2004.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
and hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man who could ever help me Baby, won't you help me understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man who could ever help me Baby, won't you help me understand
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
and hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man who could ever help me Baby, won't you help me understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man who could ever help me Baby, won't you help me understand
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
