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 anymore

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everythin'

I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can't 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 mornin' kick me in my head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

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 tried

I suppose, I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a livin' 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 you anyway

Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
