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 led me away
from home
Just to save you 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 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
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 living out of playing
pool
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band
That needs
a helping 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
Maggie I wish that I'd never seen your face
I'll get a
ride home one of these days
