Maggie May

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 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 a pain I could do without

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 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 wanna be alone

You stole my heart

I couldn't leave you if I tried

Now I suppose I could collect my books

Get on back to school

Or steal my daddy's cue

And make a living playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band

That needs a helpin' hand

Oh, Maggie

I couldn't have tried anymore

You made a first class fool out of me

I'm as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart

But I love you anyway

Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face

Yeah

I'll get on back home one of these days

Yeah
