Maggie May (remastered album version) Lyrics

Wake up, Maggie I think I 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 feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurtsThe morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes, you're everythingI laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any moreYou led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You 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 head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone

You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I triedI suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anywayMaggie I wish that I'd never seen your face
I'll get a ride home one of these days
