VERSE 1:
wake up maggie / i think i 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 lured me away from home…
just to save you from being alone…
you stole my heart and that’s what really hurt…
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…
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 lured me away from home…
just to save you 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…
all you did was wreck my bed…
and in the morning kick me in the head…
oh ‘maggie’ i couldn’t have tried anymore…
you lured me away from home…
cuz you didn’t want to be alone…
(you stole my heart / i couldn’t leave you 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 playing pool…
or find myself a ‘rock and roll band’…
that needs a helpin’ hand…
oh ‘Maggie’ i wish 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…
OUTRO:
‘Maggie’ i wish i’d never seen your face…
i’ll get on back home one of these days…
