Maggie May

Wake up, Maggie

I think I got somethin' 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 ya from being alone

You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts

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

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

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 wanna be alone

You stole my heart, I couldn't leave ya if I tried

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

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

Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home, one of these days

Woo, hoo-ooh-ooh
