Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wake up, Maggie

I think I got somethin' to say to you

It's late September, and I really should be back at school

[Chorus]

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 ya 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

But that don't worry me none

In my eyes, you're everything

[Chorus]

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 ya 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]

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 wanna be alone

You stole my heart, I couldn't leave ya 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 playin' pool

[Chorus]

Or find myself a rock n' 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 ya anyway

[Outro]

Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home, one of these days

Woo, hoo-ooh-ooh
