Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September & 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 & 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 & 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
& mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
& 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
I suppose I could collect my books & get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue, make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock & 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
Maggie I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
