Lyrics: Maggie May

[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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
The morning sun, when it's in your face
Really shows your age
That don't worry me none
In my eyes, you're everything

[Chorus 2]
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 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

[Chorus 3]
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 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

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus 4]
Or find myself a rock & roll band
That needs a helping 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

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days, ooh, ooh, ooh
