I used to kiss Maxine through the front door screen
Standin' on her mama's steps
And if her daddy hadn't come along and run me off
I know I'd have never leftIt's a cryin' shame but that's they way it was
Somethin' always there to separate usWell, I tried not to let it show
But everyone seemed to know
There's something between me and MaxineShe used to wave at me from across the street
Through her bedroom window every night
She was almost close enough for me to touch
But I still couldn't hold her tightThat's how it's been right from the start
Always somethin' there to keep us apartWell, I tried not to let it show
But everyone seemed to know
There's something between me and Maxine
There's something between me and MaxineAll the things that came between us
Couldn't change a thing
Now we're together and that's how we're gonna stay
'Cause our love just grows a little more with everydayNo, I'm never gonna let her go
'Cause in my heart I know
There's something between
Oh, I just wanna hold her close
'Cause in my heart I knowThere's something between
There's something between
There's something between
Me and Maxine, me and MaxineI know, I know there's somethin'
Somethin' between
I know, I know there's somethin'
Somethin' between me and Maxine
Somethin' between me and Maxine
