Maggie May Lyrics

Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I fell I'm being usedOh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being aloneYou stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coaxOh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being aloneYou stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and mother
What a lover, you wore me out, all you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the headOh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be aloneYou stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping handOh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can beYou stole my heart but I love you anyway
I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days
