Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up, Maggie
I think I got somethin' to say to you
It's late September, and I really should be back at school
[Chorus]
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 ya from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
[Verse 2]
The morning sun, when it's in your face
Really shows your age
But that don't worry me none
In my eyes, you're everything
[Chorus]
I laughed at all of your jokes
My love, you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie
I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save ya from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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 wanna be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave ya if I tried
[Verse 4]
I suppose I could collect my books
And get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue
And make a living out of playin' pool
[Chorus]
Or find myself a rock n' roll band
That needs a helpin' hand
Oh, 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 be
You stole my heart, but I love ya anyway
[Outro]
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days
Woo, hoo-ooh-ooh
