“maggie may” (lyrics)

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…
